I had a little play this afternoon, experimenting with a technique that Marlene showed a while ago on her blog.
I stamped up this arty Leanne Ellis stamp from Sugar Nellie, All is not lost, onto black cardstock using versamark, and then embossed her using red embossing powder. I repeated the embossing with a hero Art s script stamp for the background .
I coloured the image in using bleach, putting more bleach where i wanted the iamge to be paler. I got a little impatient and used my heat gun to dry it, and this seemed to make the bleach go whiter. I made a flower using red cardstock, stamped with the Hero Arts script stamp. I cut three circles out, distressed them with my TH distreesing tool and so starlight black ink, scrunched them, and then added the black brad. Finally some red organza ribbon to finish.
Think I need to experiment more!!!!
