Stamping with bleach!
It's really cool how it reacts with the different colors of paper. Before stamping over the bleached area, make sure the bleach is totally dry. Part of my image was the tiniest bit damp. It turned the ink a bright shade of purple...hence the ribbon:)
Cardstock: Sweet Blush, Scarlet Jewel
Stamps: Life, Natural Beauties Sentiment
Ink: Autumn Rose, Bleach
Other: Autumn Rose Ribbon

ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful card. The ribbon totally looks like it belongs there anyway! I wouldn't be able to tell that there was a small goof. thanks for the heads up about the bleach drying; i'll make sure to be careful when i try this out.

ReplyDeletePS: I am constantly adding ribbons as a cover up, but yours just looks perfect there and not a cover up :)
Kara, this turned out beautifully! And I'm loving that sentiment, I'm going to have to look into that one.
