Hi there folks - back after wee break from WOYWW or What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday -
our Julia's blog at the Stamping Ground is home base for WOYWW, over here.
 | |
| This was my desk couple of days ago... centre of desk is clear blue box of ink daubers + sponges, and in very front, I am in middle of cutting a base for the bleached image stamped, bleached then coloured again. I have worked out how far it has to be extended. |
 |
| When cutting put the piece which you don't want to be cut over the end of the plates as shown. |
I have just realised I haven't shown you how I bleached the image in the first place (26.9.15). Trouble is I take photos to do WOYWW then no time to post, will add quick summary now.. sorry, Julia!
 |
| Stamped in Versafine Black Onyx, then heat emboss (need to heat emboss to prevent bleach spreading). Use an open image for easy colouring afterwards. Also use a good cardstock. These were SU, except for the purple - a cheap card, unstable when bleach was applied. |
 |
| It was a plain, cheap bleach. Frankly do NOT use a good paintbrush to do it, see the stub of mine .. it totally dissolved it. All card bleached white, except SU Moss green bleached lemon. :D |
 |
| End result - finally blogged card to the left .. see here. Used good Caran D'ache pencils to colour. |
 |
| Note the instability of the purple on this close up, had to touch it up a bit. Daisy stamp is from Artneko see here Love this verse, the LORD does bless, help and keep us, when we look to Him. |
 |
| Aussie shot - flowering flame tree among other tropical plants.It really is summertime here, we are in heat wave mode. Can't swim this week with removed skin cancers needing protection, but will be healed soon :D.. |

Gorgeous cards, Shaz - you have been busy! I've never done the bleaching thing, I really must give it a go one day. Happy WOYWW Helen #3
Your bleaching is wonderful Shaz, and I love the way you have coloured the bleached flowers. Your desk looks as busy as mine!! ;-).
We are also warming up here, and today I was picking my own greens for a salad :-).
Blessings

great technique, just to be careful with those bleach fumes.
Well, I didn't realise you could use bleach as a technique..how clever and very effective! I love the snowflake card from the next post too :-)

Hi Shaz, love the quick techniques you've shown this week. Thanks so much for your constant support and prayer- I'm getting stronger every day, it's just going to be a longer road than I first anticipated.Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #1 xxx
Hi Shaz. Your bleached cards look great. I like to faux bleach distress ink backgrounds using just water, it's much kinder on your brushes and you can get the same results.
What's this about a heatwave, not that I'm envious or anything.
Have a good week.

I've heard about bleaching but never knew exactly what that meant. Looks messy but the end result is fantastic!
I love the bleach technique and yours came out wonderful!!
Have a wonderful week my friend! Ginny M
Beautiful daisy card and a technique I have yet to try. I'm inspired to have a go. I love to see a messy workspace, I've seen a few recently in blogland which were too tidy to be real. Yours makes me feel better. X
What fabulous makes and super pics. Take care Zo xx 33
Wonderfully successful bleaching, Shaz! Gorgeous cards and great colours! Sorry I haven't been over in a while. I've been a bit busy finding things to fill the time that I used to devote to Meg - I am determined to not let it be filled with work!
