I created this bold, beautiful card with the Bleach Technique. I first stamped the leaves of the Petal Park Stamp Set with Versa Mark Ink on Old Olive card stock, then heat embossed with Gold Metallic Embossing Powder. The next step was to “color” the leaves with an empty Water Painter dipped in household bleach. I repeated these steps with the flowers on Rich Razzleberry card stock. I love watching the “magic” happen in the Bleach Technique just as much as I love the “magic” that happens when heat embossing! You’ll want to experiment with bleach on several colors of card stock. You may be surprised by some of the results!
