I love having my Tuesday class ladies over for a number of reasons but one of the crazier reasons is that they ‘inspire’ me to give my house a good clean before they arrive. Housework is never a top priority of mine. I really would rather be crafting! {And often do!}
For one of this month’s class projects, I wanted to show the ladies the awesome technique of using bleach to remove colour from your cardstock – which creates a great marbled effect. I do see the irony in buying bleach for crafting rather than cleaning… but I’m running with it!
These were my sample cards using Cherry Cobbler, Blackberry Bliss & Island Indigo. The beautiful big Swallowtail shows this technique off beautifully.
This technique works better for some colours than others. My favourite is the Island Indigo – the colour mix you end up with is very special.
During the class we also tried Wisteria Wonder (it actually looked stunning – Helen is working hard at changing my so-so position on Wisteria Wonder), Night of Navy (excellent contrast) and Hello Honey (just a subtle change).
You should try this at home. The instructions are here from the first time I tried it out as part of an online challenge.
Your most basic bleach works the best but make sure you’re crafting in a well ventilated area! Now I remember why I don’t clean much!!! Kelly x
