bleached hand-penned petals
Using bleach in Stamping always brings out fun results! This is one of the first “techniques” I learned when I first started stamping 20 years ago – crazy that I have been doing this for that long but I still love it as much as I did the day I discovered the craft!
Regular laundry room bleach will do fill a small cup or dish with bleach get a small paint brush and play! Different colors of cardstock will bleach lighter shades of the original color or sometimes surprise you with a totally different color altogether! Here we are using blending brushes to color on Basic White cardstock, stamping in Versamark and heat embossing with white embossing powder and then painting on the bleach! Simple as that!

Stamped with the large flower image from the Hand Penned Petals Stamp set (#155070) in Versamark (#102283) and embossed with White Embossing powder (#155554 – Basics Stampin’ Emboss Powders)
With Blending Brushes (#153611) I blended Balmy Blue ink (#147105), Pacific point ink (#147098), Misty Moonlight (#153118), and Night of Navy ink (#147110) on the Basic White cardstock (#159276)
Using a small paint brush I painted inside the embossing lines with the bleach.
And finished the cards…here are two different examples!
