Nicole Heady is revisiting an old technique with a bit of a fresh twist as shown in her video HERE
She takes this technique a step further and stamps over
the bleached areas with color.
I have never tried stamping with bleach, but it looked interesting, so I thought I would give it a try. I'm kinda liking this method and you may see me again ;o)
