Being fairly new to stamping, I'm not familiar with this technique. It sounds difficult, but you did a beautiful job.

Hi Debbie!

Bleaching is pretty easy; I'm sure you can find a tutorial on SCS. Basically, you emboss a line image, then paint the image with household bleach. It will bleach out the color of the cardstock. You can then leave some parts of the image the new bleached color, as I did on the bowl, or you can color in some of the bleached parts like I did on the fruit. It's a great way to get more color on colored cardstock.

Hope that helps!

Jen
