This card is for Lee Ann's DTGD challenge. I had a couple of fits and starts that didn't quite work then decided to try an ancient technique (for me) I stamped the image in clear watermark ink and embossed with clear powder. Took my project outside and applied bleach to the flower & leaves - I knew the stem would need some definition, too, but didn't want to muck up my project as I knew swabbing it would do. Then inspiration hit . . . .got a wooden toothpick, soaked the tip in bleach and dragged it over the stem - PERFECT! Time to walk away and let it dry. Meantime I cut 2 layers for the sentiment in Aqua but after I'd adhered it to the card it literally disappeared - Searched my scraps and found a small deeper toned turquoise that was surprisingly close in color to the embossed watermark. Finished with a trio of iridescent sequins.
