Just Us Girls #466 - Trend Week

So when was the last time you used bleach?  In the wash or for crafting?  I must admit I've used it more in laundry than in crafting, but there's always a first time, right?  Just Us Girls wants you to use bleach on your cards.  There are a variety of ways to do this as well!

 

I watched this video by Gina K to get my inspiration.  You can't really tell I used bleach on these flowers because I die cut them.  In Gina's video, she stamped a few flowers on brown cardstock but didn't die cut them so you can see the difference in the color of the cardstock after the bleach was applied.  I think you can kind of see the difference on mine if you look at the very edges.  They are darker because I didn't apply the bleach beyond the embossed area.  I'm loving these block print stamps from Altenew.  They frame the card so nicely.  I stamped and die cut some leaves in some fall colors and added the sentiment and sequins to finish it off.  I think I should have used bolder colors for them because the brown flowers really stand out!  Oh well!
