Another Bauble

Yep, still chipping away at those Christmas cards ... I made this one in a bit of a playing session.  I used distress inks and glamour mists to create the inked background, and then stamped the swirly sentiment onto it.  The I took a text stamp and brushed it with bleach and stamped it over the sentiment (which I masked).  Finally I cut the result out using a Spellbinders ornament die, and cut a larger one for a mat.  The cardstock is SU and I scored the teal one using my score board.  Finally a bit of organza ribbon and a bow.

I got the idea of stamping with bleach, aving had another go at colouring images stamped onto Kraft with bleach ... not sure how good bleach is for the rubber though!

Challenges:
Oh La La Creations - bingo - ribbon, diecut and sparkle - the glimmer mist has pearlised and sparkled the bauble
Ladybug Craft - winter blues
Creative Inspirations - winter colours
