Swirls and flourishes ATCs

My three ATCs for the ukstampers swap using swirls and flourishes stamps. I made the backgrounds first by brayering some ink onto the glossy card stock and spraying with a little thin bleach to get the white speckled bits. The background to the dragon ATC was actually my practice piece of card which I stamped with Versamark before I brayered with the coloured ink and I sprayed with too much bleach. I sprayed some magenta over a flourish mask onto it and I really liked the look so it became one of my swaps.

(NOTE: be careful spraying bleach as you DO NOT want to breathe it in and it can leave a fine mist of bleach on surrounding surfaces)
