Good morning!  Today is the last post I’ve made on the Flourishes Newsletter as the June Flourishes Limelight Designer.  Today I covered the Faux Bleach Technique on the Flourishes Newsletter.

For this week’s post, I worked with both the Home Tweet Home and Birds in Vines sets. My first card uses Home Tweet Home.

The image was colored with Tombow Markers and I used the new Spellbinders S4-218 Lattice Borderabilities for the border along the bottom.

• Stamps:  Home Tweet Home and Many Sentiment from Flourishes Stamps
• Paper:  Prism Spring Willow Dark and Butter Cream; Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; BasicGrey Boxer
• Ink:  Ranger Archival Jet Black and Antique Linen Distress
• Accessories:  Spellbinders S4-218 Lattice Borderabilities, S5-006 Curved Rectangles Mega Nestabilities, and S4-139 Petite Scalloped Ovals; Tombow Markers; Tsukineko Sponge Dauber; Venture Foam Tape; Ribbon; Brads; Button; Ranger Matte Accents

To show examples of the Faux Bleach Technique, I used Birds in Vines and airbrushed over the embossed image with Copic Markers.
