I really stepped out of the box with this one. First of all I don't usually use these brad thingys because they aren't really brads and they don't stick well. I seldom tie a double bow, I rarely use this color and finally the image itself. A few weeks ago for one of the challenges we were asked to stamp with bleach. At the time I stamped about five images then I used the best one. The others were not quite good enough and as I was cleaning up the other day I started to throw them away. It was on a whim that I over stamped one with black ink just for the heck of it and this is what I got. I've never seen this technique before but I doubt I invented it. Regardless here is my out of the box technique I call bleach double stamping.

merniebug... this card stopped me in my tracks as I was logging on to the forums - and I had to take a closer look. I love the strong colors - the card really makes a statement and I think you did a great job with your bleaching. TFS

That is a really beautiful effect you got with overstamping the bleached image - well worth doing again. I can tell you it wouldn't have worked with what I achieved last time I tried bleach, LOL, that was beyond salvation.
