    Our Creative Director answers your technique questions
    Q: Jan asked: "Do you know of any company that makes an embossing folder that gives you a linen finish/embossed impression?"
    A: That would be a fun folder to have. There was a discussion about that in our forum last year. Check this forum thread to read what our members had to say about that.

    Feedback From Past Tutorials
    Annette has a suggestion for the Bleached Out Images technique: "I use an old blender pen for this technique. You can just dip the tip in the bleach and away you go! I wrap a piece of masking tape around the barrel of the pen so I know at a glance not to use it for anything else."
