Today's card:
I began by stamping and heat embossing the flower on coloured card, I then used bleach to remove some of the colour from the petals before using polychromos pencils to add some detail and depth into the image. I used bleach to stamp the leaves onto the green card stock - I was delighted with the resulting images and the fact that they were yellow and not pure white (I did wash the bleach from the stamp as soon as I had finished stamping). It is interesting the way coloured card reacts to the bleach.
I used:
UNIKO Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum
Visible Image: Go to Words
Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils
Versamark
WOW Clear Embossing Powder
The challenge that inspired this creation:
CAS MIx Up April Challenge
- as well as bleach my project includes die cutting, heat embossing, colouring with polychromos.

ReplyDeleteI like the way you stamped with bleach and split the green panel into 3 pieces before adding them to your card and the yellow flower is divine. Thanks for sharing at CAS Mix Up this month.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous chrysanthemum card, Elaine! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe shades of yellow are so bright and beautiful. Adding the details with color pencils does male a difference.
The bleached leaf outlines make the panels look like patterned paper, and the different sizes of the panel make a wonderful and interesting backdrop for the flower.
