Beautiful bleach!

Di is introducing some new shapes and a new sort of board as part of the Tando Creative range. Carol and I have been putting things through their paces and you can see the results of the first experiments -Distress Ink backgrounds- over on Tando. Yes, I really did use bleach here (and yes, I really did have to go buy bleach just for stamping!) - check out the full details and some pieces from Carol too on the Tando Creative blog.

Stamps (Cornish Heritage Farms):
Ornamental Beauty (Rummage Bin line)
Tree Swallow Silhouette

Paper:
White coated chipboard arch (Tando Creative)

Ink:
Tim Holtz Distress ink by Ranger (Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint)
Stazon by Tsukineko (Timber Brown)

Other:
Bleach
Seed beads
Wire
Dangle from old earring
Copic markers (to tint white beads as I didn't have anything the right kind of colours).

Thanks for stopping by today!

    Absolutely beautiful Joanne.
    I love the way the bleach works with the colours you have used and so clever to bleach out the breast feathers.
