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.

A funny thing, Nancy, I read your title as Bisters and Beach! And the background does look, to me, like a wet beach. So the title seemed fitting. then as I read your description I read the title again and saw the word was Bleach! With either word in the title the card is fabulous. The turquoise flowers are so fun with their black zig-zag outlines! The black splatters carry that color throughout the card and really tie things together! Love every bit of it!

I'm so glad you commented on my card, otherwise I may have missed your gallery! Wow is this a cool technique, just love the pop of color. I used to use bleach years ago on colored card stock, but this is really gorgeous!
