CAS Birthday Wishes

Another CAS card using the bleach and blender pen technique. After stamping the flower from BLOOMING WITH KINDNESS set in stazon timber brown, I colored with bleach using an old blender pen. Also distressed the edges and then added bleach with blender pen.

Cardstock colors: so saffron, chocolate chip, and I am not sure on the orange color - maybe really rust?

Removeable Stamps & Acrylic Blocks

 I am sure I am not the only one that this has ever happened to - you have your card almost complete, and your removable stamp falls off of the block, smearing your project! It is soooo frustrating.

So I started adding a mini glue dot or a zot to my acrylic blocks and then putting the removable stamp on. It works wonderfully! You can reuse the glue dot several times before you need a new one. It has saved me many exclamatories and frustrations since I started doing this!

Bleached Thank You

I stamped the flower from BLOOMING WITH KINDNESS set in espresso ink on crumb cake cardstock. Colored flowers with an old blender pen and bleach. Used the blender pen on the edge of the circle for added dimension after stamping thank you from the retired silhouette sentiments set. Used my fingernail to distress edges of scallop, circle and itty bitty flower. The card is so saffron cardstock.
