Stampin’ 411 Sketch Challenge

I was inspired to join the Stampin' 411 Sketch Challenge.  Sketch challenges can be so inspiring and I thought this one was a perfect layout for one of the cards we'll be making at my Hobby Lobby (Oshkosh) and Omro Technique classes next Wednesday!

Here's what I came up with….the image is from the Elements of Style (a brand NEW set coming to you soon) stamp set.  I used bleach as my medium instead of ink.  Bleach is always fun to stamp with.  You get so many different colors based on the cardstock you use.  When I stamped the bleach image on Taken with Teal cardstock – it turned a green color that looked alot like our Gable Green. 

Take out a bunch of scraps and stamp bleach on them to see what color your cardstock will turn…then just accent your card with a color that comes close.  It's super fun to see all the different combinations!

Here's what I came up with….the black cardstock has a super mellow look, while the Elegant Eggplant turned "almost" an Almost Amethyst color….

BLEACH TIP:  I always wondered why my bleach didn't work so good after a short period of time….bleach keeps it's "bleaching" power for about 48 hours and then you have to buy new bleach.
