I've used bleach on an inked image before, but never with Distress inks where you pull some colour back into it. What a great idea. I struggle with shading, (much more practice needed), so this is a wonderful technique. Your card is so pretty!
Hi Monica, thanks so much! I had watched a random art tutorial looking at the different effects solutions had on watercolours & thought I'd give it a go!! Love experiments - sometimes they work out! 😁😁 thanks for watching!
Thanks Janelle! I was such a long time ago now - could have just been a small amount neat in a cup or watered down slightly - you could do a test swatch to see if you get the effect you want with both :-) work in a well ventilated area xx

Thanks so much Seema! x
Just beautiful thank you. Did you emboss the leaves or just use the white pigment ink?
Norine Mueller yes stamped and white embossed all the images so it ‘resists’ the ink colouring xx
Very interesting and beautiful result!
JoAnn E thanks so much!! 💕
