When my sister in law was here last week-end she brought me an
Aqua Flo Water Brush that you can put bleach in and "paint" with. I decided to try it out on some fall stamps. I brushed the stamp with the bleach and stamped it and then over-stamped it with brown ink. You can't see the yellow one as clearly (it looks white in real life) - but the green one showed up real well.
I also used this fun
tutorial for Burned Paper Bag Leaves for the leaves on the right of this card. I didn't quite follow the coloring directions though --- I colored directly on my leaves with markers and smeared it around with my fingertip.
It feels good to have had a few minutes to create last week, and to try a few new techniques!

You did a great job! I haven't had the time to create much of anything lately and I sure miss it. You've given me some great ideas for when I get started back..hopefully soon!
Awesome technique. The blessing is one of my favorite stamps. Are the leaves cut from paper bags?
Yes, Pam -- I cut the leaves from the paper bag after I "burned" it and colored it.
I love how you leaves turned out. I really liked your aqua brushed bleached leaves. I have never had much luck with bleach. I like how yours looks.
