Bleaching Technique

 I was blessed last Saturday to facilitate a class through Bridget Casey.  Many, many thanks to her!  She is an amazing talent as well as a terrific lady!  We all made different projects using many brands of paper as well as different stamps.  Below are just a few of my finished cards using my images made during the class.  

This technique is fun but unpredictable as you never know how your cardstock will react with the bleach,

Each cardstock reacted differently but I think all turned out well.  I may have another class using this technique soon.  But, I still have bleached images left from last Saturday's class to turn into cards!

Happy Stamping!

 This is just a fun post to showcase a great Altenew set.  I gold heat embossed this stamp onto vellum several week ago and never did anything else with it.  As I was cleaning my craft space, I found it and decided to make a card.

I colored the images on the BACK of the vellum with water based markers and then adhered my vellum to double sided adhesive.  After die cutting the image, I adhered it to my cardfront.  To make the card front, I applied a wash of matching ink and water to an A2 sized white cardstock, dry embossed it with one of my embossing folders and then applied Altenew Enchanted Gold Pigment Ink with a dauber to random areas. I also applied it to the sentiment after die cutting it. I trimmed the protruding petals from the blooms and adhered them to the cardfront as well.

I am very pleased with how this card turned out.  Now on to all the other bits and pieces that I have saved from previous sessions!  

Happy Stamping!
