Thanks to Becca for an awesome tutorial in sharing this tech!
The beautiful butterfly was first stamped using versa-mark then heat embossed using black ep! I then bleached the butterfly using a tiny paint brush and being very careful to stay within the embossed lines! I used a corner punch by SU to make the medallion and to punch the corners of the background. The punched butterflies is a MS punch.
Take Flight is by GinaK Designs. It is one of the many many things that was in our goody bags from the curise! Gina used the bleaching tech. to demo this set!
