Make It Monday #76: Double Time Bleaching - Take 2

Here's my second card for PTI's Make It Monday and Double Time Bleaching.  I was surprised to see Simply Chartreuse turn yellow with the bleach.

Make It Monday #76: Double Time Bleaching

Here's my take on PTI's Make It Monday for Double Time Bleaching.  I first tried this technique with the blooms from Flower Fusion, but the graphic flowers didn't work so well with the soft look of bleaching.  So I switched to nature images, which I like much better.

I like the bleach technique although the overhead of dealing with bleach is a bit much for me.  I struggled with stray bleach marks, and I ended up bleaching out some spots on my jammy pants.  : (
