A card for many challenges...first off congratulations to Julia, our Queen for the Day!!! I pulled some of the colors from this great Riley card to CASE.
I've used the stamping with bleach technique for the middle strip of my card. You can find a great tutorial right here on Splitcoast if you haven't tried this technique. This was a first for me...a really cool look!
Here's what I used:
Paper: SU! Soft Suede, Basic Black and Calypso Coral
Ink: Distress Inks in Walnut Stain and Black Soot, and Distress Embossing Ink
Stamps: Stampendous Ponderosa Pine and Verve Joyous Noel
All the other stuff: Big Shot Pro, Tim Holtz Tattered Banners die, My Favorite Things Notched Border die, sponges, bleach, sponge brush, Tea Dye Distress Embossing Powder, heat gun, and ATG

Great colors to pull from Julia's card.......I love the texture you got by using the bleach! Nice edging in black. Very masculine!!
