CAS Mix-Up April 2020

I said to myself "Wouldn't you just know it" when I saw this month's challenge for CAS Mix-Up.
I had just finished a bleached card for a Design Team assignment that I wouldn't be able to use here. It's a good thing I like the technique because I pulled out the bleach and made another card.
My first step is to try bleach on different cardstocks to see how they react and ended up using PTI Ripe Avocado.  I stamped and clear heat embossed a wreath from Altenew's Weekend Doodles. Then I just painted the leaves with bleach, letting it sit and do its job, adding more to get the color I wanted.  I cut the panel down and added the sentiment from  PTI. 

Thanks for dropping by.

Who knew, right? I've never used bleach in my craft room... for a card, or any other reason... you all have me curious!
Very pretty, Bobby!

Wonderful thought, Bobby, and your attempt is successful, fun and fantastic. Ditto above -- but I'm afraid to have bleach on carpet...

Calm, serene, understated and elegant, Bobby ... the bleaching worked wonderfully on your wreath! Love the colour matched sentiment ... I so often forget that (and how good it looks!). Hugs, Anita :)

What a clever idea! I've not seen bleaching done before. I'll have to give it a go!
