Flourishes Limelight Week 4!
Good morning! Today is the last post I’ve made on the Flourishes Newsletter as the June Flourishes Limelight Designer. Today I covered the Faux Bleach Technique on the Flourishes Newsletter.
For this week’s post, I worked with both the Home Tweet Home and Birds in Vines sets. My first card uses Home Tweet Home.
The image was colored with Tombow Markers and I used the new Spellbinders S4-218 Lattice Borderabilities for the border along the bottom.
- Stamps: Home Tweet Home and Many Sentiment from Flourishes Stamps
- Paper: Prism Spring Willow Dark and Butter Cream; Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; BasicGrey Boxer
- Ink: Ranger Archival Jet Black and Antique Linen Distress
- Accessories: Spellbinders S4-218 Lattice Borderabilities, S5-006 Curved Rectangles Mega Nestabilities, and S4-139 Petite Scalloped Ovals; Tombow Markers; Tsukineko Sponge Dauber; Venture Foam Tape; Ribbon; Brads; Button; Ranger Matte Accents
To show examples of the Faux Bleach Technique, I used Birds in Vines and airbrushed over the embossed image with Copic Markers.
and the embossing ironed off as a second background:

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, and thanks for stopping by!
I love your projects, Sherry! Great suggestion to use cardstock as the sheet over the embossing for ironing. I love your 2nd tag equally as well as the tag on your card front. AS you know I am challenged with this and hopefully I can get my own personal privatge lesson during your CHA visit.
Love your cards. Looking forwards
to using the lattice dies (they are
on preorder.)
Oh my beautiful work here, so love the bird in the first, great coloring and that lattice is just perfect with it, on the second card, love the background colors on the tag, and pretty border there too!
Cool tag too!
I have to say that while I like all of these WONDERFUL works of art, the card with the faux bleach tag is my favorite. I swear, I could use this technique for every card I make. LOVE the look of it!!
Gorgeous cards Sherry (as always!!!)…love them!
