Bleaching as a Color Tool--using lines and patterns

What a week I have had! I was trying to be really cool and savvy and have a video of my next project to show you---BUT noooo! My son tried to help me, I made a Power Point--it didn't work and then I tried just doing a simple slide show. OHH my! You would have thought it was an act of Congress! Well, needless to say, technology can be both a blessing and a CURSE! I will try again in coming weeks--this will not get my down!!! Now for the project of the week.

On 'YouTube' I saw this great technique I would like for you to try. You use a little bit of bleach to give your card a different effect and color by bleaching the color out. I thought it would be fun to use lines and see how creative I could get.

Materials:
small jar or bowl of bleach
q-tip or foam brush
card stock (any color)
embellishments (whatever your theme will be)


Step 1:
On a separate sheet of paper--get an idea of what kind of lines you would like to have or choose a stencil for your card. Place it next to your work area for a reference.
Step 2:
Dip your q-tip or brush into the bleach and begin drawing. If using a stencil, just color in the area.
Step 3:
Take your heating tool and dry the area you have just bleached and watch the magic begin.
Step 4:
Use embellishments, stamps or ribbon to complete your card.


I decided that I would make my own chipboard embellishment using the flower stencil and gluing it to the chipboard and applying it to my card.





Hope I gave you some new inspiration! KEEP SCRAPPIN'!
