Bleach Stamping is a creative technique that delivers soft, dreamy results — and this gorgeous card from Crafty Meraki is the perfect example! Featuring the Feathered Friends Press-Tacular Plate and a rainbow ink-blended background, this project is a fresh twist on a classic stamping effect. Designed by Michelle B. for the Crafty Meraki blog, this stunning card uses water (instead of bleach!) to lift colour from a Distress Oxide–blended background, creating a gentle, ethereal look that enhances the detailed bird image beautifully.
✨ We love how Michelle kept the birds’ bodies untouched, allowing the vibrant background to remain intact in those spaces and draw the eye inward.
