Here's my card for the color challenge CC231 -- stamping with bleach. I've done several bleached cards lately (I get on certain kicks sometimes), so this challenge was right up my alley. Be careful when you're doing bleach with a fine-lined image such as the word "wonderful" on this card. You'll want to practice on it so that it doesn't bleed out. I overstamped the soft suede ink for the wheat.
Oh, and be sure to heat set or let your bleached images completely dry before overstamping them. If it's not, the other ink will fade out too. TFL!

Wow, you've chosen a perfect image for today's challenge. I like the way you overstamped in brown. Just a very nice design. And, thanks for the additional tips. I won't ask how you know these things. :-)

What a beautiful combination of stamping and bleaching. I'm going to have to try this!

I love the effect you get with overstamping,I think I need to give that a try! I wondered about bleaching a word stamp too --> thanks for the tips on both!! This is such a lovely card!

Just lovely. I really like the surprise colors we get when we add bleach to different papers. You never know what you are going to end up with! Great card. I can feel the wind blowing through the field.
