Hello and Good Morning..I hope you are enjoying your Easter Holidays. Having Izzy home from school usually means I have even less time to Craft :0( ....but thankfully yesterday Jon took the children off my hands for a couple of hours while I had a play with the stamp set Bordering on Romance (from the New Summer Mini Catalogue avail 1st May-31st Aug). I also tried out a new technique- Bleaching. You can find a great tutorial here www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/bleached_out_images/P20/
I used Calypso Coral cardstock and embossed the image with white embossing powder. I then "un-coloured" (is there such a word!!) the image with a blender pen dipped in a tiny amount of household bleach. When dry re-coloured the image using a Watercolour Pen and the ink pads Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade. I then highlighted the Image with a layer of Crystal Effects. I added Poly stitched ribbon in Poppy Parade and finally added a sentiment from "You're a Gem" stamp set (SU Spring Mini Catalogue). I am really pleased with the end result and will be trying out this technique again!
Now I would like another couple of hours so I can make some Easter Baskets for our little egg hunt tomorrow.....x

Fab card, have tried this but the bleach keeps bleaching out the added colour. Did you use a thin bleach or a thick one? I used a thick one, and that may be the problem perhaps. Jenny.
