This is the 3rd card from the Stamping Up rubber stamp set Summer by the Sea.
I decided to work on navy coloured card stock and use bleach instead of ink.
I took a piece of kitchen towel folded it in four and lay it in a tray and soaked it in household bleach (I would only use this method on orange rubber stamps and wash them immediately after stamping)
Take the stamp and dab it onto the kitchen towel then stamp onto the card stock, it is fun watching the image appear after stamping in this case it turned the navy card a lemon shade.
I then took a paint brush and shaded parts of the image by painting with the bleach.
I matched up the bleach stamped image colour with card stock and layered shaped with Nestabilities dies.
I finished with punched flowers from the same card stock
