Bleached Out Images

Yep. Surprised me, too. I planned on using a dark green paper, but like Ellie's kraft cardstock, the bleach did nothing to it. Tried a few other colors to see what would happen and liked this one best.

This was interesting. I tested a scrap of the paper first and it worked, so I stamped, then tried to line up the Versamark and stamp over it, which actually worked pretty well. It missed a few spots, but got around the flowers, which was all I really needed. However, when bleaching the flowers and buds - you can't really see the buds too well, everything bleached pretty well, except for 1 petal on 1 of the flowers. That one turned tan. What?!?! Anyway, I used a white pencil to make that one white and get a couple of small areas that didn't bleach as well. Thought it was funny that just 1 petal turned a different color.

Golda, love the Kraft and light blue color combo. And you did a good job of fixing that naughty flower petal. It is funny that one petal turned a different color... must have been a mix up when they made the paper?

Great job, Golda! Mine bleached at different levels too. I don't know what's up with that. Thanks for playing!

Golda, it turned out pretty and that was a good thought to use a white pencil to color it in.
