Speedy the Cat's Challenge — Bleaching

I have decided to play along in the Speedy the Cat's Challenge this week which is to use the bleaching technique. I love what you can do with bleaching.

Here is my creation...

Stamps: Medallion, En Français, Sincere Salutations

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Grey, Riding Hood Red,

Crumb Cake (otherwise known as Kraft)

Ink: Basic Grey

Other: Bleach, Linen Thread

I have used the bleach with the Medallion stamp on the Riding Hood Red and Basic Grey card stock, then stamped En Français in Basic Grey over the top. Also on Basic Grey I have reversed this by stamping the Medallion in ink and then bleaching with En Français. When you bleach on Basic Grey, the colour almost looks like Crumb Cake, so it works to use that colour card stock in the design as well. Once I had stamped and bleached the different pieces, I tore them and layered them together.

I am happy that the white piece of card stock with the sentiment brings back a little crispness to the otherwise textured, patterned design.
