I am on a bit of a roll today, completing my second challenge entry! This time I am entering in Just Add Ink colour combo, and Sunny Challenges sketch and non-traditional challenge.
I got inspiration for this card from the lovely Liz Hicks, I saw her do a presentation at Stampin' Up! Convention this year and then more recently she created a stunning scrapbook layout with a technique that I think I described as "sponge, partial stamp, bleach, sponge, stamp"! Basically you just keep building colour and images until you are happy with the result. I used a little stamp to stamp bleach over the right hand panel, dropped some bleach down the left hand panel, splattered some ink using my spritz tool on all layers. I also did some sanding on the left hand panel to remove some of the colour.
I really love how this turned out and am grateful to Liz for exposing me to such a fun, and messy, technique. You can check out her blog here: Liz Hicks - DizzyINk Inkspires you!
Happy Stamping
Lovely card Monique
