Bleached autumn leaves

This is my take on a bleach technique which Gina K demonstrates here.  I used PTI's leaf prints set and am pretty pleased with how it turned out. Tried bleaching a range of colours and the darker colours definitely work best.  Instead of using black embossing powder, I inked up my stamp using versamark followed by the black ink and embossed with clear powder:


Supplies
Paper - cream card from stash, SU bravo burgundy, kraft, PTI ripe avocado
Stamps - PTI leaf prints
Ink - versamark, versafine onyx black, PTI vintage touch tea dye duo
Accessories - clear embossing powder, PTI linen/canvas impression plate, PTI ripe avocado saddle stitch ribbon, foam mounting tape, glue dots, bleach
