Love these minis! I decided to try the bleaching method to make my background. I put a small amount of bleach in a Pyrex dish and folded a paper towel into it to absorb the bleach. I then used that as my stamp pad and stamped the image on my red cardstock. (A tip from Lori: Be sure your cardstock is a solid core piece and not one where the color is printed on — e.g., Core'dinations, Worldwin, CTMH.) It took a few tries before I got a good image. At first I had too much bleach and it just ran and bled out the image, and then, I did too little and got only part of an image, so I suggest practicing on scraps before moving to the cardstock you want to use.
Also be sure to wash the bleach off the stamp immediately after using. Once that was dry I glued it onto a 10x5 base folded to a 5x5 inch card and rounded the corners using my Corner Chomper.
I then stamped the Mini Princess Tilda with Memento Black Ink twice. I colored one using my Copics and the other I cut just inside the outside edge to use as a mask later.

Using my Nestabilities Classic Scallop Oval Small Set I cut and embossed Tilda. Using removable tape I placed my Tilda mask over the colored Tilda while it was still in my Nestability. I then used some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Mustard Seed and a stipple brush to color the background by pouncing the brush up and down over the image.
Using my Spellbinders Beaded Oval Set I cut and embossed the larger layer and used red pearl pens to give some dimension to every other oval. Once dry I stacked the two ovals and adhered them to the card base. The smaller oval was raised with pop its. Finally, I added a small bow using Glue Dots.
