Art Cards - Bleach!

For the Art Cards challenge this week we are provided with the theme: bleach. I have made two backgrounds using the method described in the link on the Art Cards website.

The first card uses a cutout part of a watercolor I did the other night. I have adhered it to the background to be used for a card.

The second card uses one of my watercolor pictures of my Li'l Redhead, who was based on my red-haired granddaughter.

    Hallo liebe Faye,
    Deine Karten sehen wieder einmal ganz fantastisch aus und der Hintergrund bei der Blumenkarte ein Traum.

    Great results! The butterflies are so pretty stamped in bleach and L'il Redhead is always lovely! She is looking particularly demure in this watercolour.

    Both of your cards are fantastic, love the bright colors. I'll miss this challenge, there's only a little time and the bleaching technique isn't my cup of tea ;)
