I really tried to keep it simple. Did some color blocking glued the sections down. First off it's not necessarily easy to line up four seperate pieces to fit properly inside a specific spot. Then I forgot I had wanted to run them thru the Cuttlebug (this was after they were perfectly aligned) so I pulled them all off. Then they wouldn't line up again - it then dawned on me to turned them over and tape them together and then place them on the matting. Much easier! Sprayed with some bleach - heat set - rubbed with a little Chocolate Ink. Very nice challenge!!
Thanks for looking!

Gorgeous texture to your card! Thanks for describing the process. I get a little... "Type A"... when blocking, so it was a good reminder that loosening up can look really great on a card.

This is so beautiful and your creativie process made me smile (glad to know I'm not the only one who does things like that). I really love the effect of the sprayed bleach ... thanks so much for joining the inspiration fun.
