Okay, so there's a lot going on in this card! But, you have to know that once I got inspired to stamp circles with bleach....and I started grabbing little toys and things from the kitchen drawer to do so....that half of my kitchen got cleaned up in the process with the bleach, water and everything :shock:

I have more pieces of cardstock stamped with bleach for a softer, snow scene. Thanks for a reason to play around with paper on a Saturday!!

[Bonnie Epps]

OMG those are right down my alley. I'm a watercolorist but the paper I use seems to thick, what type of paper does Mizue use??? The circles are so easy just place a drinking glass into a puddle of watercolor and then stamp the circles on to your paper. I also use leaf stamps on top of the watercolored paper. So easy, so uniquely my own. I invite you to try.
