It's the 1st of April and time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up. Loll is Host and would like us to use Bleach on our cards. We welcome Mac as our Guest Designer for April.
I followed Jennifer McGuire's Video for this card. I sponged the Panel with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Barn Door and Fired Brick, then I clear embossed the flower image and Bleached the petals and centre of the flower being careful not to use much bleach as I found it would creep under the embossing and remove the red ink and my image lost some of it's definition. I love how the petals have a marbled look and I was able to use the stamens as a contrast. I stamped the sentiment with Barn Door Distress Ink and added the Red Sequins. The white mat is dry embossed with Sizzix's Ruffled E/Folder.
