Bleach Embossing

Supplies Needed:    

• Dark colored cardstock
• Complimentary cardstock or Designer Paper
• VersaMark stamp pad
• Heat Gun
• Embossing Powder (your choice of color)
• Coloring tools (Copic Markers used here)
• Stamps (open design works best)
• Aqua Painter with bleach in it

Step One:

Take dark colored cardstock  and stamp your image with VersaMark.

 
Step Two:
Pour embossing powder on your image and heat set it with your heat tool. Be sure to tap off any excess powder.
       
 


Step Three:
Take your Aqua Painter with bleach in it and paint the embossed area that you want bleached.
 
 


Note: Do not let the bleach pool on your cardstock, it will bleed through the embossing.


Step Four:
Dry your bleach with your heat gun. The whiter you want the image to be the lighter the cardstock you should use.
   
 



Step Five:
Take your Copic Marker or other color tool you choose to use and color in the area that you did not bleach.
 
Step Six:
Finish your card to your liking. Add whatever embellishments you want.
