What a surprise! When you use bleach with the new SU soft suede you get the other new SU color, crushed curry. Cool! I also had to try out my new hostess (with the most-est) set that I got when I had TWO ..not one..$500 orders from my Open House! Woooo HOoooo.
I used bleach on the background then used my new markers to edge the curry and make the stems and berries. There must have been residual bleach on the stamp bc it created the cool (at least I think so) mottled look. It was pretty but it just seemed 'flat' to me so I punched out some circles with my good old (I do mean old) hole punch and adhered them with dimensionals. Then I altered the yellow brads with a sharpie to make them more curry-fied. Now I like it.
