I learned this technique from my friend Jenny, who owns a stamp store in my home town. When I go to visit, I always learn something new!
After we cut our paper to A2 size, we laid it on newsprint, placed the brass template where we wanted the image to pop, and sprayed bleach right onto the template from about 5-6". I used an empty SU stamp cleaner bottle, but you can use any fine-mist sprayer. I pumped 5-6 times (until the bleach beaded on the brass) and then quickly removed the brass using a paper towel. After a minute your image just blooms. You won't believe the effects you can get with this!
Of course, you need to do this on a tile counter top (or outside) and line the tile w/newspaper. The great part of this is, it smells like you're cleaning inside of messing around with more stamp stuff! Bonus! TFL

This is beautiful, I have a ton of brass templetes never use them. Would love to understand with more details about the technique. Could you pm me some details if you find the time.

Wow! this is so cool! It has such an ethereal look. At first glance I thought it was an image transfer. I love the feeling it lends to the card. I must try this. TFS!
