This is the first time I have ever tried the bleach technique. I am really pleased with how it turned out.
The bear is die cut (purchased) from a suede paper. Those of us who live in grizzly bear country know that it is a grizzly by the hump on the back and the extra long claws.
I added the green to the leaf area with pastel chalk. This has even more depth IRL. Hope you like it.

Wow, I am totally impressed! I have never had success with bleaching. This is gorgeous and the added grizzly and green to the leaves is just perfect. TFS

Wow, so beautiful. You did a great job with the bleach it turns very well and gives the real look of birch. This stamp is wonderful ! The bear is great - on paper only !

Wow, wonderful card, Judy! I love the trees done with the bleach! I just got this stamp when we were on vacation, but haven't played with it yet. Thanks for the inspiration!
