Bleached Daisies for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on June 5, 2021June 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share blog hop where we are sharing anything we choose. I have decided to share a card made using the ‘bleaching’ technique.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the bleached daisies card, you will need;

Evening Evergreen card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
So Saffron card – 5¼” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner
Soft Succulent card – 5⅛” by 3½” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White

I mounted the large Daisy Garden stamp onto the Stamparatus plate and place the Soft Succulent panel onto the base.

I inked the stamp in Soft Succulent ink and stamped it down, I repeated this step until the image was dark enough. The soft succulent panel was left in position on the Stamparatus base.

Using a dry Blender Pen I began to colour in the flowers using bleach. I love the effect this gives.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bleached daisies card made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop using the Dairy Garden stamp set

When the bleach was dry, I inked up the stamp again with the Soft Succulent ink and stamped again over the top of the flowers to give the image more definition.

I glued the stamped panel to the So Saffron panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of the gorgeous Gold Shimmer Ribbon around the layer, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was added to the Evening Evergreen card base using the same liquid glue.

The sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card in Evening Evergreen ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Tailored Tag Punch. The white tag looked so bright against the stamped image so I inked up the Daisy Garden stamp in Soft Succulent ink, stamped it off on scrap paper and stamped it over the sentiment. Much better. The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

To complete the card, I added a bow made from the same ribbon and a trio of Artistry Blooms Sequins.

I love this technique, such fun. I hope you like it.

Placing the same plain circle die onto one of the Basic White panels and drew round it lightly with a pencil. This marks out the area to stamp around. I positioned it so that it part of the circle would end up being trimmed off.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

I inked up the outline flower image with Polished pink ink and stamped it twice around the circle. I used the fill in stamp to colour the image but stamped off to give a lighter shade of pink. I repeated this with the Pale Papaya ink and the Fresh Freesia ink.

The buds were stamped in Soft Succulent ink and coloured using the fill in stamp and the 3 colours.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

When the circle was covered, I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. Looks amazing. The panel was then glued to the Polished Pink panel.

Using liquid glue, I added the 3 large pansies to the back panel of the box making sure not to place them to high as I wanted the card to fit into a standard C6 envelope. I added some of the smaller flowers to the front panel using the same glue.

I added the ⅛” strips of Evening Evergreen card to the other small pansies and added them at different heights to the inside panels, snipping off the excess. I added the leaves with a dot of liquid glue. Taking care that the card when folded down will still fit within the envelope.
