Crazy Amigos - Bleach

This week's Crazy Amigos challenge is using bleach. I couldn't resist doing this challenge, since ecoline inks and bleach work so well together. I stamped the butterflies on ecoline backgrounds, they are heat embossed and I applied bleach using a fine brush.

De Crazy Amigos dagen ons uit om chloor te gebruiken. Kon ik natuurlijk niet laten, want chloor en ecoline gaan zo goed samen. De vlinders zijn op ecolinepapier gestempeld, geƫmbossed en met chloor bewerkt.

I used Memories White ink to stamp the collage stamp.
De collagestempel is met Memories White gestempeld.

Sometimes my ecoline backgrounds don't turn out the way I expected. I didn't like the one at the left here, but after stamping the butterfly and using bleach, it looked ok. I LOVE these stamps! I received them form Louise, the owner of Art Journey.
Soms worden de ecoline achtergronden niet wat ik verwacht had. Deze achtergrond links, vond ik helemaal niet mooi. Maar na het stempelen, embossen en bleken valt ie toch mee. Niet te snel weggooien dus :) De stempels vind ik PRACHTIG! Ik ontving ze van Louise van Art Journey
