So here is the "Mashup" Challenge:

- Or Make a project using "Bleach".
- Or "Mash it Up" and create a project with a "Witch using a Bleach Technique".
I had so much fun adding details to this card! I started off with a
piece of Basic Gray card stock cut 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored it at 4-1/4”.
Next I folded up a paper towel and placed it inside a plastic container. Then I
dribbled a little bit of bleach onto the paper towel. You don’t really need a
whole lot for this. I tapped the bats stamp from Wicked Cool into the bleach
soaked paper towel and stamped the image onto the card stock. I just kept
stamping using the bleach as my ink until the entire card front was covered with
splotchy bats.
Next I cut a piece of Howlstooth and Scaringbone polka-dot DSP 1” x
5-1/2” and adhered it onto a 1-1/2” x 5-1/2” piece of striped DSP. This was
adhered onto the card front. For the greeting I stamped the image from Seasonal
Saying into the bottom left hand corner of the card front in Versamark ink. I
covered the stamped image with Black embossing powder, tapped off the excess,
and heated it with my Heat Tool until the image was shiny. I sponged around the
edge of the entire card front with Basic Gray ink to make the edges look
shadowy.
I cut a piece of Basic Black card stock 1-1/2” x 4” and used Paper
Snips to cut one end into a dove-tail shape. Now for the witch. I stamped the
moon from Out on a Limb onto a scrap of Very Vanilla card stock and stamped the
broom well below the moon in Black Stazon ink. I punched this out with the
2-1/2” Circle Punch. I stamped the lovely witch on another scrap of Very
Vanilla card stock in Black Stazon in. To color in the witch’s face and hands I
colored my Pink Pirouette marker onto a stamp block and picked up just a little
bit of color with a Blender Pen to add the color to the stamped image. I also
used this technique to color in the witch’s hair with Daffodil Delight and the
moon with a combination of Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie.
The witch’s stockings were colored in with Rich Razzleberry and Lucky
Limeade. I also used Rich Razzleberry on the inside of her hat. I colored in
the broom with Crumb Cake and the bands on the broom with Lucky Limeade. Then I
used Paper Snips to very carefully cut out the witch. I used 2-Way Glue Pen to
adhere a 1/8” wide strip of Silver Glimmer Paper onto her hat and trimmed the
strip even with the edges of the hat. I glued the witch onto her broom with
2-Way Glue Pen. I adhered the circle that the witch is on onto the top of the
Basic Black pendant. The pendant was adhered onto the card front with a few
Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Now for the fun part! I made it look like the witch was casting a spell
by applying Crystal Effects in swirls on the card front and covered it with
Dazzling Diamonds glitter. After making the card I realized that you could do
the same thing with Dazzling Details if you want. But I love how this turned
out!
If you have a chance head on over to the Friday Mashup and play along!
