Sooo, thought I'd share with you here then! :D I had a total of 6, SIX!! rejected, stung just a bit, but, tis ok, it's not gonna take away my love of this little hobby! We all have different tastes, and mine just wasnt what they editors where looking for THIS time! :D Here it is, using the bleaching technique:



I used Gina K Designs' Honey Mustard cardstock and I LOVE how it bleached out! Isnt that a gorgeous Daisy!?? I did use a marker on the leaves after bleaching, and added some pen work with a white gel pen and copic marker. But yea, this is one of my favs!! You likey? :D

Happy Valentine's Day! And a sale from Gina K!

Hey y'all! Hope you are having a fun Valentine's Day! Me? Well, we could skip over it and it wouldn't bother me, lol! Anyways, I made this little decorative element using 1 1/2 cube blocks:



I took the wooden blocks and rubbed them onto my distress ink pad, and also distressed the papers I used too with same ink and a sponge dauber. I purposely stacked them slightly askew like that too..just a simple little decoration to sit out on Valentine's Day! I love changing things like that in my house...usually on the mantel is where I do my seasonal things. :D

And wanted to let you know too about a sale at Gina K Designs!! Here is the link to the 2 stamp sets on sale right now:
