Floral Blooming

I made this for the May cardswap within the NZ cardmakers group.  The topic is to use the bleach-an-image technique (as seen at Splitcoaststampers).

The peach flower is stamped with Versamark and clear embossed, the purple flower is stamped on dark blue card and embossed with black, the leaves stamped and embossed in dark green with clear embossing.  Then the bleach is applied within the embossed areas to get the desired effect.  After it's dry, coloured pencils are used to  give depth and shade. The blue flower and the leaves are cut out and attached with foam tape for a 3D look.  I also flicked a little bit of bleach on the coloured card to get a sprinkled look.  The sentiment is gold embossed.  The amazing thing is that when the bleach is applied the card can become a very different colour.
