Bleaching with Pleasant Poppies

This was the 2nd card everyone made at my techniques starting with B class inspired by the fabulous card of Sandie McIvor's HERE. Nothing tricky about bleaching except you need strong bleach & an aquapainter which remains reserved for bleaching.

Stamp sets: Pleasant Poppies, Tiny Tags
Ink: Versamark, Garden Green
Paper: Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler
Punches: Jewelry Tag, handheld 1/16" circle
Other: Cherry Cobbler embossing powder & scalloped tulle ribbon (love, love this - hope it's staying as it's a Holiday mini item) & baker's twine, Watercolor Pencils, aquapainter x2 (one with strong bleach & one with water), dimensionals.

Some close ups showing the colouring (nowhere as good as Sandie's), just bleached (no re-colouring with the watercolour pencils & aquapainter) & the image stamped inside the card:

Well I think you'll be seeing some more of this fabulous stamp set real soon as everyone loves poppies - especially if you're a kiwi (or an Aussie).

I'm running Triple Time Stamping classes this week Monday & Friday nights - to see more information click on my classes tab or picture. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.

Scarily Cute

Don't you just live this Frankie that Roxy AKA Corinne Somerville shared how to KReate.

I was supposed to be prepping with Sally Williams today for the Creative Inkers Christmas Extravaganza which we are both involved with next Saturday but I was naughty & distracted us with cute projects to make!! I'm going to whip up a few of these for my work colleagues who have small children for Halloween.

No stamps were involved in the making of this project but needs the stinkingly cute Petite Purse Bigz die. The green is Gumball Green; one of our new in-colours which is such a happy green.

Well I'm not sure if my Frankie is scarey enough, I may need to work on his mouth but he is cute - so thanks Roxy - awesome project!!!
