So happy its the weekend - but as always it will go so fast! I enjoy my time to be able to craft and the weekend is a good time for me to do DT projects, challenges, or just be crafty in general!! I wanted to share with you my project for the next Lawnscaping Challenge - Try a New Technique. For my technique - I've always wanted to try stamping with bleach. I've seen so many cool projects done with it, and how it gives such a neat look.
To tell you the truth I actually did another card previous to making this one - but I felt this one turned out a bit better overall.
I first made a "bleach pad" by layering up a piece of paper towel and saturated it with bleach. I chose the microphone from Stay Tuned from Lawn Fawn and stamped it out first with the bleach. The image wasn't as solid as I would have liked - but still gave it a neat look. I, then stamped the image again with Memento Morocco Ink and offset the stamped image a bit. Then, I stamped my microphone image with black Staz On ink. I took one of the speech bubbles from A Birdie Told Me, and stamped that above the black microphone. Above the others, I stamped in the Morocco Ink the music notes from Stay Tuned. My sentiment also comes from Stay Tuned.
I wanted to add some texture so I turned to my basket of washi tape - and found this gray diagonal pattern and a thin mustard yellow pattern. For some embellishments- I added some gems and pearls. I forgot to say in the beginning - I finally was able to purchase the sampler pack of the Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstock, and I love it!! Like they say - its great for card makers - my card panel is the Circus Peanuts color, and the Licorice Twist is my card base.
Here is another look -
As always I enjoy participating in the LSC. It is my favorite Challenge blog :) I'll meet you back here soon!
