Today I started off knowing I had a couple of girly girl swap cards to make and wound up making this card. Go FIGURE! I also totally forgot I had to take the hubby to have 1/2 his teeth removed so 5 hours of sitting in a dentist office killed my creativity.
I almost did not share this card but thought I would because it uses a couple of techniques that are fun and make for a quick card. To create I first using a versmark stamped the image onto black linen stock then embossed it with black embossing powder. Once embossed I got out the bleach and brushed it on to the cougar. I colored it in using Twinkling H2O's adds a nice shimmer to image. Secondly, I made a faux leather background to mount it on. I accomplished this by taking a piece of linen mustard stock and saturating it with water then wadding it into a ball, squeezing out excessive water, lying it out to dry flat. Simple huh?

Gorgeous card, I've never tried bleach on a card. Sorry about the long dentist trip, doesn't sound fun for your hubby or you!
This is lovely. I've bleached some simple stamped images, but this cougar is great. (No, wait; that's Tony the Tiger). Just lovely.
