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!

Totally different, totally cool!
Thanks for describing in so much detail how you did there. I kind of stayed away from bleach, but might want to give it a try one of these days...

This is so fantastic, Maddy! You're such a creative stamping genius! Thanks for the detailed explanation. And look at you, making 20 to catch up! OK, that's it! You've inspired me to get going on my CCC cards, but I'm not promising to *catch up* like you! :o) TFS. Linda
