WT403 - Bleach It Out (11/29/12)
 

Hello friends...It's Thursday and time for a new " Ways to Use It " challenge. It's been a lo-o-o-o-o-ong time since I've used bleach on a card. There are several bleach and faux bleach techniques in the tutorials...here are just a few...

Stamping With Bleach
Bleached Out Images
Colorless Blender Bleaching

Different card stocks bleach out differently making this technique a fun one. In my sample, the Smokey Shadow bleached out to a burgundy color, and the Scarlet Jewel bleached to a rust color. So your challenge today is to have fun using bleach or a Faux Bleach technique on your card or project. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Here are my Bleached Vintage Ornaments

Remember to use the Keyword WT403 on your project so we can see it in the gallery.

Here is the whole WT403 Bleach Gallery.

Bleaching is fun! I just bleached black and it was kind of pink. Will work on this tomorrow.

Well since I've been stalking this challenge, I think I should try it. Thanks for posting early.

Great challenge Cathy. Here is my card. WT403 Bleached Santa by Holstein - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Oh, I am so going to try to find the time to play along after work. Last time I tried this it didn't even make it to a card and I've really been wanting to try again.

Bleach and I don't get along too well, but I decide to give it a go anyway, Cathy. Thanks for the challenge...a REAL one! : )

BLEACHED

Ooo, not sure I have any bleach in the house. The last bottle got punctured somehow and slowly leaked out. I'll have to search out my bleach pen.

THANKS for looking! If anybody has had luck w/this bleach pad (and it wasn't four yrs old--hee!), please let me know. :)

WT403 Bleached Get Well
 

Cathy- a good challenge for me- I wound up using Ranger oil ink blender solution with a Ranger black ink background and brushed on the blender over a CM cup stencil with heat tendrils in the image. I thought SU's Lots of Bots worked well here.

WT403 Bleached Leaf
 

Cathy- thought I would give it another whirl- used my Delta leaf stencil this time, along with this sentiment from SU, stamped, then crumpled the paper and applied green ink. Here's Bleached Leaf

Here is my card for this challenge. I stamped and bleached the background design. thanks for looking!
