I made this for today's colour challenge. Monochromatic... I chose the earthy tones, pumpkin pie, more mustard, apricot appeal and really rust. Elephants were stamped on more mustard with stazon ink, then I bleached out the elephants. Matted with apricot appeal and pumpkin pie which I had run through the cuttled bug. Main card is pumpkin pie 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. Next is white, inked up with more mustard and distressed.I cut a piece of fabric (African theme) and stitched on. Vertical strip is apricot appeal - I ran it through the bug - I inked up the folder with pumpkin pie first - for a reverse look. then I ran the really rust ink pad over top of that. stitched around edges. Stamped happy birthday in more mustard on more mustard. added the rectangle clip and raffia.

This is incredible! Love the elephants bleached out! I need to try this! Will you pm me with a little more info on how you bleached out the elephants? Did you sort of paint it on with a q-tip?
