I have never had much luck bleaching before but tried it once more...this time I had a new type of bleach. It's thick and gooey, and it worked! Love the colors but NOT ready for fall yet (sorry!). Off to try the enamel leaf technique!

Oh my - I am amazed at this. I too have never had much luck with bleaching and I've about given up trying. You're inspiring me to give it one last attempt!! The bleached-out stamps make a fabulous ghostly shadow effect behind the autumn colours.

Wow - the bleached shadows are perfect! I've found that the type of paper used makes a huge difference in how effective the bleaching is. This is a beautiful use of a specialized technique - lovely work!

I've never had luck with bleaching either, but I love the effect you got here! Your stapled sentiment is just right too!
TFS about the sanded border....looked so pretty!
