A huge thank you to Christine (calex) for helping me obtain this wonderful coated cardstock. Neutral bisters were used, sprayed with water and when partially dry, I added some blue. I stamped with Ranger Archival, then used bleach and a brush to paint out the color in the images. This tutorial can be found here. I colored the images with Zig brush markers and used water to blend. Love that the bleach removed color when once again, I color all my white space. The sentiment is embossed. I drew some wonky lines on ink jet acetate, then pierced it for a template for the stitches. I spattered with bleach as well as black ink. The ink faded so added enamel accents manually over it. Thanks for stopping by.
