This is my first upload and my first time trying bleach. I don't know if you can tell from the scan, but the B.Burgundy is 1/4 sheet, The US Vanilla is mounted on top with 1/4" taken off of the right side.

Beautiful card! Did you paint the bleach on the ends of the pinecone? It looks so real. Great job on your first effort, and hope we see more of your work! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the compliments! I embossed the pine cone using craft ink and fine detail clear embossing powder. There is a detail in the stamp that leaves the tips on the pine cone "open" so I just "tickled" the paper with the bleach filled Aqua pen in those open spaces. It worked out great because the embossed area keeps the bleach from bleading into the rest of your stamped image!
