What a fun challenge! Just be careful with the bleach!!! I've done this before so, I knew to clean my stamp immediately after stamping. Sprayed bleach on my frame stamp and then stamped it on Pretty Peacock. Dark colors seem to have the best results for me. I used the butterfly stamp that came with the frame, colored it with pencils and die cut it to mount in the center of my bleached image. There was a blank circle where the butterfly is now, anyway. I used Versamark with the sentiment and heat embossed with a glittery Enchanted Gold. It has a iridescence to it. Added a jewel and was done. I'm happy with the bleached effect. Hope you like it, too! Have a great, safe and healthy week. ~Chrysi

Dark colours certainly worked well for you here - what a beautiful background. Over the years I have seen dramatic effects like this and they tempt me to try again, but I'm convinced that some cardstock just doesn't bleach much - even with brand new freshly opened bleach. It always leaves me curious as to how SU cardstock is treated, it seems to respond so well. I like the slightly irregular shading you got, giving a dappled, shadowy effect.

This is my favorite technique to do with bleach, because I sometimes am very surprised with the underlying color. Great card.
