October - bleaching
By: favorite grandma Date: October 1, 2012, 10:29 am

Do you use bleach in your laundry? I seldom use it because so
many things are not bleach safe. But I remember years ago using
it often in the load of whites.
The October card challenge is to use household bleach to add
highlights to embossed images.
Splitcoaststampers

/>has a fabulous tutorial to help walk you through the steps.
here's my card:

If you have any questions, post them here. I'm looking forward
to seeing your cards.

That is just stunning Peggy! Is the white outlines the bleach
from the stamp? I looked at the tutorial and am still not quite
sure what to do. I think I'll have to experiment a little with
this one.

the flower is heat embossed with white embossing powder on the
peach cardstock. use bleach on a paint brush and brush it over
the area you want to remove color from - the light strokes
inside the flower petals are where I applied the bleach. Then I
cut each flower out and layered them on the blue. hope that
helps.

Okay, now I get it! I thought the white outline was stamped
with bleach but that's actually the embossing powder (have to
look/see if I have any of that). The bleach does add subtle
soft color to the petals...... wonderful!! Great job Peggy!

you don't have to use white embossing powder, I've also done it
with black and red. some cardstocks react differently to the
bleach also, so I suggest practicing on some scrap papers.
