Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Here is my card for today's Color Combo, Don't Fade Away, and for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #34!
For my card, my focal image was NOT stamping in bleach, but rather, Whisper White Craft Ink. I TRIED to stamp in bleach, but despite the well ventilated area, I still got a headache and not such good stamping results. In the alternative, I ran a paper towel that had bleach on it over my Cuttled background to highlight the design, and it is SO pretty in real life!! OK...I think I may have overdone the bleach...am I rambling? LOL!!
All the stamps are from Act of Kindness from There She Goes, and the DSP is Razzleberry Lemonade!
Thanks SO much for looking!!
Jodi

This is really pretty, Jodi! Sorry about the headaches and whatever other hazards you may have encountered... Your "faux" bleach looks fabulous, though, and I love this card! Thanks for playing!
