Bleach Stamping is a creative technique that delivers soft, dreamy results β€” 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.

Hop over to the Crafty Meraki blog to read Michelle’s full tutorial. She walks you through each step and shares her tips for getting the best results from this easy bleach stamping technique β€” plus a…
