My Latest Creation

IMG_3752_thumb

 

Joe asked me to do a retirement card last week for a Store man who he works with – but I didn’t have time even to think about this ‘til last night and here is my creation!

The tools are brads which Tracey found whilst we were in the little craft shop in Blackpool.
Many thanks Tracey – as you can see they came in very handy.

All the card stock is from my stash a few peel off’s for the front by the rest is my own ingenuity :)

Hi Lesley...cute retirement card! LOVE those brads that you found. You asked about bleaching...bleaching is using bleach either as an "ink" or with an aqua painter to bleach out colored cardstock. When using an aqua painter, I usually emboss my image first since the embossed edge will keep the bleach where you want and not run. If you use it as an "ink"...just soak a paper towel with some bleach and then use that towel like an ink pad. Does that make sense? Give it a try...it's very easy!!!
