Magic Of Christmas Card- bleach stamping technique

Hello!

 Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my bright and festive Christmas card!  Don't you just enjoy making Christmas cards?  I do hope your Christmas card stash is quickly building or is complete.

This card involved a new technique for me: stamping with bleach.  The bleach technique is the challenge this week at JustRite.  At first I was apprehensive- I don't even keep bleach in the house so stamping with it was a huge leap.  I decided to go with a light background (baby blue) and it was bleach stamped using a snowflake from JustRite stamp set Christmas Vintage Labels One.  On top of that I used JR background stamp Moroccan Lattice with Archival Brilliance pad in Pearlescent Poppy and clear heat embossed.  Next I placed a white doily die cut from Cheery Lynn (French Pastry) . Baby blue card stock was die cut from Spellbinders Lacey Circles and then white from Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circles.  The sentiment is from JustRite stamp set Christmas Inner Thoughts.  The red velvet ribbon I purchased last year and the bling...oh the bling...they are all my pretties I have saved for a long time (like the faux diamond broach) and finally decided to use.  I was hesitant at first to use all of the pretties but they really do look happy together.  :)

 Thanks again for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

    Beautiful card! You did a great job with the technique. Guess you will have to keep a little bleach around for future projects. Love your focal grouping, it is so pretty and so nicely composed. Thanks for dropping this off by our house here at 613 Avenue Create!

    You ARE brave! I too don't keep bleach in the house since whenever I do it ends up where it doesn't belong (always the black clothes...WHY???). It gives such a gorgeous soft effect on your card - and what perfect embellishments you chose!
