mcschmidty-the Night of Navy cs is what the Brocade Blue is layered onto-it looks black in the scan, but it is really navy. The periwinkle is glitter, again in the scan it is hard to see but there is glitter scattered amongst the trees.
Thanks for all of the sweet compliments, the original idea I have seen before, I just tweaked it with the additional bleaching and glitter.

I already loved this set - this is inspiring! Please tell me what you used to get the textured look when you bleached the moon.

When I use bleach I do not dip my stamp in the pad of bleach. Instead, I use a cottonball attached to a clothespin (so I don't have to touch it) and dab that onto the stamp. This way the coverage is a bit uneven and not so solid. For finer line stamps it also keeps them from looking so fuzzy. I don't stamp right away, I blow on the stamp a bit once the bleach is on it to lighten the effect.
