For a change I'm showing you a card that I made just because I could. This was the first time I tried out the bleaching technique. The image is by Glenda Waterworth - Elusive Images - the set is called Texture Blocks. It's a set of six stamps with some really lovely images.
I stamped the image, using Versamark and silver embossing powder, onto some green card from my stash. Next I dipped my paint brush into some bleach - boy did it smell - and applied carefully. I was amazed as the bleach dried to watch the colour fade from the card. As it was my first attempt - I kept the bleaching to a minimum, but was really pleased with the effect.
I am pleased to say that the card was sold earlier this year in a fund raising event for our Scout Group.
That's all for today - I think I'd better try and do some housework, otherwise we're going to end up living in a pit!! :)

What a fantastic effect! I love this!
Wow this is gorgeous! I love the technique you've used and the combo of green and silver is so elegant. Your card turned out beautiful!
Techniques like these are fascinating - I've only ever done this once but really liked the effect - I was only just starting out stamping then so I was bewildered by it all so now I've got a better grip (!! hopefully) on inks I'll return to it. Now I have this stamp....... it's a lovely set isn't it?
