This fabulous card is created with a Water Bleaching Technique that is very easy to do.
For the blue card I have used the Layered Florals from the
"Christina Collection"
"Christina Collection"
For this one I used the Layered Butterflies stamps and I decorated an envelope to go with it
The technique needs lots of ink and I find that Distress Oxides give me a better result than the regular inks

Try different colour blends and see which you prefer.
And write them down in a notebook so that you can always refer back to your favourites
And write them down in a notebook so that you can always refer back to your favourites
The trick with this is to use lots of ink and to keep blending to get a really smooth look with no harsh lines, and remember that it will dry lighter.
The Video will show you step by step how to make the card and I love both of these.
It is a technique I have used many times in the past and will use over and over again in the future.
Don't forget that there is a special offer until the 17th March at Craft Stash with the
