CCEE1505 Bleached Out Images

For her last challenge this month, Vicky asked the CCEE Stampers to use a technique I haven't used in several years.  It's one a new stamper learns and finds fascinating -- bleached out images.  Here's a link to Splitcoaststampers tutorial.  After I bleached out the image, I colored the leaves and added just a touch of pale orange to the base of the flower petals.

Stop over at the CCEE Stampers blog and see how the rest of the team used bleach on their cards.

SCS Inspiration Challenge

It's been a while since I've posted any Splitcoaststampers challenge cards, but I decided I should start doing that.  As the Inspiration Challenge is my favorite one of the week, I started there.  Today's inspiration site is a Pinterest board with all sorts of packaging from all over the world.  I chose this particular photo to use as my inspiration.  

I thought the photos on the juice containers looked just like flowers, and the orange juice one reminded me of a chrysanthemum stamp from MFP Stamp Shop.
