It's a Bleached Chili Day

Hi Bloggers!

We're back from the mountains.  No WiFi in the boonies.  I'm lost without my computer and computer access.  So....although bleached chili doesn't sound very appetizing, it does make a neat card.  Today's image is by the all time favorite Stamp A Mania.  I believe this image is probably one of their most popular because of all the things you can do with it.  And living in New Mexico, of course, Chili is loved by all New Mexicans who eat chili on a regular basis.  We love our NM chili!  Hubby is from North Dakota and is now an official Chili Addict!    :o)  As happens to us all, our tastes change, and he was at the beginning, a green chili lover, but now appears to favor the red chili.  I can't ever decide which chili to order at a restaurant, so as many of us in NM do......I request "Christmas" which is half red, half green.  Love it!  Web address for stamp is:  www.stampamania.com  

Okay, today's card was embossed with Stamp A Mania Glacier White embossing powder on to black card stock.  Then I used by water brush and dipped it in bleach....Clorox, full strength.  Be sure to mark your water brush with a Sharpie so that you know that brush is for "bleach only."  Paint the chili, leaves, and the outer edge of the border with bleach (it may take more than one bleach application).   It's good if you can use the bleach near an open window or door with a little ventilation.  Layer with your favorite card stock, scrapbook paper on background, embellish with a little lizard, and you voila!  All done.

Glad to be home, and back to my computer.  Our old computer went to that big hard drive in the sky, and I'm still figuring out the new Mac computer.  Similar, but different in so many ways. Thanks so much for stopping by today.....I'll be back later with another card.
