A card for many challenges...first off congratulations to Julia, our Queen for the Day!!! I pulled some of the colors from this great Riley card to CASE.
I've used the stamping with bleach technique for the middle strip of my card. You can find a great tutorial right here on Splitcoast if you haven't tried this technique. This was a first for me...a really cool look!
Here's what I used:
Paper: SU! Soft Suede, Basic Black and Calypso Coral
Ink: Distress Inks in Walnut Stain and Black Soot, and Distress Embossing Ink
Stamps: Stampendous Ponderosa Pine and Verve Joyous Noel
All the other stuff: Big Shot Pro, Tim Holtz Tattered Banners die, My Favorite Things Notched Border die, sponges, bleach, sponge brush, Tea Dye Distress Embossing Powder, heat gun, and ATG
