I featured the Stamping with Bleach technique at my last card club. This technique is really fun and if you haven't tried it yet, Splitcoast has a great tutorial found here. I had it in my head that this stamp set would work perfectly with the technique, and with Dad's day coming up, it all fit! And isn't this sentiment the truth, about our parents getting smarter the older we get? I certainly think so. Anyway, I liked the end result.. and hope you do too!
Here’s how I made it: The card base is a 5 ½” x 8 ½” piece of Chocolate Chip Card stock (CS) folded in half. The next layer is a 5 ¼” x 4” piece of Blue Bayou CS stamped with the paisley image using the Bleach technique, then set aside to dry. The horse image was stamped full strength in Chocolate Chip, then stamped off twice on a 3 ½” x 2” piece of Very Vanilla CS. The top and bottom paper pierced, all the edges sponged. The image was then adhered to a 5” x 2 ¼” strip of Ruby Red CS that had first been stamped with the Weathered background stamp and edges sponged, both using Chocolate Chip ink. The tab was made by stamping the sentiment on a scrap piece of Chocolate Chip CS in matching Craft ink, clear embossing powder sprinkled, heated to set, then punched out using the Tab punch. The tab was then adhered to the Ruby Red strip and secured with an antique brad.
Going back to the Blue Bayou matte - after the bleach dried, the edges were sponged with Chocolate Chip Ink, the sentiment was added to the bottom, using Chocolate Chip craft ink, clear embossing powder & heated to set. Then all the layers were assembled using snail adhesive.
