Here is the second in the series of bleach and watercolor cards. This time I used a stamp called Birdie Bath from Whippersnapper. I decided to paper piece the image to give it a 3D look so I colored and cut the bird bath a 2nd time and layered it over the base image with foam tape. I also wanted to make his splashing more fun so I added streaks coming out from the little bird with watered down Bashful Blue ink and dash lines with a Sakura sparkly jelly roll pen. Subtle but super cute!
Here is a close-up of the splashing. Such a happy little bird!
Thanks for visiting, come back tomorrow for a Bleaching and watercoloring tutorial!

Janet

I saw a video on-line that showed how to bleach and watercolor a stamped image and I was inspired to try it out! I started with Baja Breeze cardstock by Stampin' Up. It's one of the colors that retired this year, but it bleached out really well, almost to white! I used cute little bird images from the Penny Black set called Nature's Wishes and a Whippersnapper stamp called Birdie Bath. I stamped and embossed them with white EP then I used bleach to lighten the inside areas of the image. When the bleach was dry I used Stampin' Up markers to watercolor them. It was so much fun that I kept stamping and bleaching and stamping and bleaching and ended up making a bunch of cards! Here is the first of the 3 card designs. I'll post the 2nd one tomorrow and the 3rd on Thursday. I even have a step by step tutorial for you so stay tuned!
Thanks for stopping by!
Love,
Janet
