    Technique: Add a little bit of bleach to a cup. Using an old Blender Pen, dip the tip of the Blender Pen into the bleach and color all of the flowers and stems with the bleach. Make sure you stay inside the lines. You will notice the cardstock start to bleach out the cardstock color. Set aside to dry. Once dry, use colored pencils to add color to the flowers and stems. I used an orange color for the flowers and green for the stems. Glue to card front once coloring is completed.
