Retro to go!

Check out this CUTE card made by Margi Gilbertson, Director with Close to My Heart. The tie-dye effect was done by sponging with the NEW Cotton Candy, Pear, Sky and Smooth ink colors onto the card. Then she splattered pure bleach with a toothbrush onto the card to get the bleaching. Her bleaching technique is something I've used many times BUT never in papercrafting!! Maybe on shirts at 4-H camp or I remember doing this on my freshly painted wall in school. below is my rendition of her card!!! I used a small paint brush to splatter instead of a toothbrush.. - MAKE SURE YOU ARE CAREFUL! After all it IS bleach! :-)
I used paper from the new Fall packet Olivia for my lil scrapbook girls pants and apron- same paper just front and back- sunset and pear colors!
