Fifth Avenue Bleach
Did that title get your attention? LOL! I'm toying with a quick and easy card for an upcoming workshop. This technique is kind of neat. Heat emboss the image with clear embossing powder on Pretty in Pink, then paint bleach on the image, staying inside the lines. Like magic, the rose turns a beautiful creamy white. I used a blender pen with a Melon Mambo Classic Stampin' Pad to highlight around the outer edges, and add some depth to the rose petals.
This one would be fun to do in a workshop, because it involves three techniques; heat embossing, bleaching, and watercoloring with the blender pen.
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, Well Scripted
Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: VersaMark, Basic Black, Melon Mambo
