I decided to try a "new to me" technique for this week's Wednesday challenge. I highly encourage you to watch the tutorial video. I watched it, listened to the directions, and failed to follow one of them. Beate said to test the bleach on a scrap of your paper. I didn't do that because I was just a little over-confident. I decided to use very heavy kraft paper without testing it first. See the first photo to see how it DID NOT BLEACH! My second attempt was on a lighter weight kraft paper and it bleached right out. Every paper will react differently. Here's another tip: Use a very small paintbrush so you don't go outside of the embossing lines.
With this technique you have the option of coloring the image after the bleach dries. My paper bleached to such a bright gold that I didn't think coloring the image was a good idea. I really liked the color combo so I stuck with it. I would love to see one that has been colored. (hint, hint) Here is a link to the video on Splitcoast Stampers:

Have fun with this; I did!
