It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC896) this week and I chose Running with Sisters & their Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration. I loved the flowers & bright orange color.
For my mini slimline card, I die cut the panel & sponged on the apricot & nectar inks for my background, only going about 3/4 of the way up. Then I stamped a bunch of the 3 sizes of daisies onto copy paper and die cut them all to use as masks. I had already decided to bleach the petals but I needed the masks to arrange where to stamp, then mask the ones that needed it.
After stamping the daises w/ Versafine Clair ink (I used this because Memento just doesn’t stand up to the bleach very well), I used a synthetic paint brush to bleach the petals. FYI..the paint bristles need to be synthetic because bleach will totally destroy natural bristles, so go ahead & use a cheap synthetic one. Depending on the ink color, bleach will usually not take the paper back to white. Since I used a red-orange, after bleaching, I got an off white. I also stamped 3 more daisies onto white & die cut them. These 3 are popped up w/ fun foam.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s my honor to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS715) & a big congrats to Marianne! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the overall floral w/ the greeting on top, but I used different images & colors & instead of coloring the flowers, I colored the bg & bleached the flowers.
I started by sponging a white bg, with greens from the top down & pinks from the bottom up. When I’m using two opposite colors like this, I usually leave a very pale to mostly white area in the middle so I don’t end up w/ an ugly color. After stamping the floral bg image on top, I used a tiny, synthetic paint brush & bleach to remove color from the flowers & few of the leaves. If you try this, make sure your brush is synthetic because bleach will totally destroy natural hair brushes. It was die cut twice, using the largest & next smaller stitched rectangle dies. The white half scallop layer was inserted in between, then attached to the card front. The 4 part layered rose was stamped w/ the same pink & green inks & die cut. The rose & greeting are popped up on fun foam.

A big congrats to Denise, the newest Featured Stamper (FS579) on Splitcoast! She has a lovely little gallery & I chose THIS to case. I love the vibrant blue so I kept I kept that & most of the layout. I used different images, turned it horizontal & moved the greeting,
This is also for the Ways to Use It Challenge (WT678), to use bleach. I actually love using bleach on card stock…w/ all the different brands & colors, you never know exactly what you’ll get. For this, I stamped this southwest pot image w/ bleach onto the cobalt blue c/s. I was pleasantly surprised to see it turned a lovely turquoise color when bleached. The strip on the side was simply sprayed w/ bleach. After fussy cutting the pot, I used a lg bg die to emboss the turquoise panels then added a double stitched circle frame & some sequins & strips of paper for grasses.
Here’s a look at the inside.
Just for grins, I sprayed a bunch of different colors of c/s to see what bleach would do. Here are my results. (Click any pic to enlarge. If there’s a solid piece next to it, that was the original color.)
