This is the card:
I started by painting a piece of card with gesso, letting it dry and then blending yellow and orange gelato sticks over it. I then took an IndigoBlu stencil of roses and a wet baby wipe to remove colour. The result is a water bleached effect! Bright and cheerful roses.
This will be my second entry in the "Less is More" challenge where the theme is "Faux Bleach"
Enjoy!
Absolutely stunning. I love the shaped top panel and the vibrant colour. So cool to use gelatos! What a super card!
ReplyDeletePerfect deign and the roses appear to have real depth x

This is so pretty. I saw Helen Chilton demoing this technique a while ago and had completely forgotten about it. I must try it out soon.
