Sweet Stamps Challenge #69 Bleach

Today is our sixty-nineth challenge on the Sweet Stamps Challenge blog.

This week the challenge is to use BLEACH!!!

Create a project using our USING BLEACH!!  Have Fun!!

I stamped Sweet Stamps Tree #1 directly into bleach.  I like this bleach technique because of the variance of color on different colors of cardstock.  Below are the different trees I stamped:

 

There are different ways that you can use the bleach.  This is a link to the way I stamped the trees, HERE.  This is another method HERE.  

I decided on a fall theme even though it's June!! I know crazy!! I detailed cut my three favorites grouping them together.  Cheery Lynn's Foliage XL Embossing Plate was inked and then ran through on Kraft Paper.  Tucked in the corners for enhancement are two of  Lace Corner Deco I. 

The DP is Forever Fall by Bo Bunny.  A great embellishment are the legless brads, Candis.  They are so fun to use as an accent and are so light weight also!! The gems are from my stash.  The card is a 5"x7" in size.
