New Technique and Fifth Avenue Floral

More new toys :) I decided to try out a technique that was in our March issue of Stampin' Success magazine. This is one of the many benefits of becoming a demonstrator - a magazine which features product tips, project techniques, and ways to build your business. With the Starter Kit currently being 15% off, $169 and FREE shipping, NOW is the time to Join my team. Or just enjoy the starter kit with no further obligations.

Ok, onto this new technique for me... bleach! Yep, you read that correct. I kreated an ink pad with a paper towel and saturated it with bleach. Now please be careful, we all know the hazards of bleach! I 'inked' up my stamp,like you would any other and pressed it onto Baja Breeze. Give it a second for the image to appear - its like magic - at first you don't see anything and then voila'. TIP: SU states not to worry about your stamp as long as you clean it right away.
After stamping each flower, from Fifth Avenue Floral, with bleach, I then went back and 'shadowed' them with Baja Breeze. I 'highlighted' the centers of the two smaller flowers with my VersaMarker and then added some Iridecent Ice Embossing Powder to give them a little sparkle.

Three Choc Chip brads and the cute choc chip polka dot ribbon from the Valet Ribbon Originals pack finish it off. I sponged the edges with Baja Breeze, snipped 3 corners with my Corner Rounder, placed it on Very Vanilla and finally on Choc Chip.
What do you think? Happy Stampin'
For now, go kreate
