My club LOVES to learn new techniques, and I struggle to come up with new things! So, I went WAY back–to bleaching!! For this card, emboss your image (the large sunflower from Celebrate Sunflowers is used here) with black embossing powder on Cajun Craze cardstock. With a cheap paintbrush, “paint” your sunflower with regular household bleach! Be patient–it takes a few seconds for the magic to happen!! This just happened to bleach out to a color that matched our So Saffron cardstock perfectly!
What do you think?! As you try this, just remember that each color of cardstock will react differently with the bleach–so do a “test” first, if you’re looking for something specific!! Have fun with it!
I’m entering this in the SUOC #310: Autumn/Fall!
Here are the products used, along with household bleach:
Beautiful, Tammy, that giant sunflower is so iconic of Fall, lol. And great job with the bleaching – it came out perfectly! So fun to “remind” everyone of these great techniques! Thanks so much for playing at SU Only!
What a pretty card, Tammy! And fun to see what color the cardstock will turn after the bleach is applied. You’re right, I haven’t done this in years! Thanks for playing along with us at SUO Challenges!
Love this, Tammy! Great technique for your beautiful card. Thank you so much for joining us over at Stampin’ Up! Only Challenges and we hope to see you again tomorrow!
