Cathy's challenge today is to use a bleaching technique on our card. Love this technique...it's fun to see what color the paper will change to. I chose a grey paper. Stamped and embossed the image. With a brush and bleach I applied bleach to his beard, and fur. Added the velvet ribbon and buckle for his belt.A touch of red was added to his cheeks and lips. tfl

Your card is gorgeous, Linda! What a perfect choice for this technique...Santa's beard and fur bleached out perfectly, and I love the added belt and texture!

Wow Linda! That bleach made a perfect beard for Santa! Love the shades of gray on this card! I love the embossing and checked paper too as well as the 'belt' ribbon.
