This card covers 3 different challenges- WT100 uses a technique from the Technique Junkies Newsletter called Bleach Overstamping (also a tech. here on SCS); a variation of my previously posted card for Saturday's Inspiration Challenge IC63, (photo here: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers and my Jan. & Feb. submissions for the Christmas Card Challenge. (I've done 20 cards since I missed posting for January completely).
I stamped the reindeer in bleach and then *smooshed* the image off to the right, creating the *ghost* of the image. I then overstamped the image in Versamark, and silver embossed. I swiped more Versamark over the image, sprinkled with several colors of Pearl-Ex, then sprayed it very lightly with a mixture of Pearl-Ex & hair spray (also a tech from TJ's called That Shimmering Touch). Finally I outlined the reindeer with a glue pen, and sprinkled with DD glitter. Rudolph's nose is a silver brad colored with a red Sharpie marker.
Thanks for looking!

Wow, these are wonderful! What a great look with the bleaching and smooshing! I love the color black bleaches out to and the added embossing and pearl ex must be fabulous IRL!

Well, as you can tell from my comment on your other card, I am just loving this 'smooshing' technique of yours! These are so COOL with wonderful artistic flair.
