This card, which is a very simple design was made using a technique I learned from Gina G (link here) using stamped & embossed leaves and bleach. In this case, I really shouldn't have left this craft until the last minute because after preparing it all, I found out that I hadn't got any full strength bleach. I made an attempt using a weak solution (of bleach) but I wasn't very happy with the result so when the leaves were dry I coloured over them with a gold signo pen.
(These pictures replace the ones I originally showed when it was wet)
..and it worked! I really like the effect now!

In my defence for doing this very last minute, I didn't know that my husband was going to be back this week from China, he only told me late on Saturday night. I thought for this anniversary I was just going to be sending him an ecard.
Thanks for reading and for any comments you may leave,
See you tomorrow,
