Two Masculine Cards using Bleach

[@elizabethturnbull1537]

What an amazing result on the face with the bleach, really good skin tone. I pictured the car as a lovely Christmas card with a tree added to it, the bleaching looked just like snow. Two fabulous cards. Thank you take care.

Thanks so much 😊

[@RobinsCardNest]

That bleach technique is magical!

[@DJMHallett]

Thanks, the bleach works great on the Lidl card stock 😊

[@carolinewattie274]

Fabulous the bleaching really brought the first cards image to life

[@DJMHallett]

Thanks ☺️

Love both of these cards Deb! The "man" card bleached out such a cool color, looks like a skin tone. The "car" card was a surprise too, I didn't think that would bleach that color, I love them both! Love also how you did one with embossing and the other one with just the ink. Cool to know with the ink you used that the bleach didn't change it. Yep, very cool masculine cards! Hugs, Brenda

[@DJMHallett]

Thanks, yes I was surprised with the bleached colour on the car one 😊

I have not used bleach in quite a while. Great results on wonderful cards. Thanks Deb!

[@DJMHallett]

Thanks so much, I did the jellyfish a couple of months ago but hadn’t used bleach in ages before that. It’s nice to revisit old techniques 😊

I thought how clever your highlight was on his eye glass, and then you brushed it off! 😅(10.15)

Love them

[@DJMHallett]

Thanks ☺️

[@bilou8588]

Hi Deb this card is amazing…May I know what kind of card stock that you use (in Lbs) …any
brandmark suggestions? and as Jill‘s question is Clorox can be used?

[@DJMHallett]

Thanks, I used Lidl card stock which is 270gsm, I found a few conversion sites that gave different answers 🤷‍♀️ but a couple said 182lbs so maybe that’s right but I’m not sure sorry, I used basic grocery store bleach, I used it neat to paint with and added water for the splatters. I’m not sure about the clorox question but I’d say give it a go, test on a small piece first 😊

[@angelarose7573]

Great cards Deb. I’ve always shied away from bleaching as I’m afraid the card will hold the smell?

[@DJMHallett]

Thanks, it does smell while I’m doing it but i didn’t notice it when it was dry 😊

[@angelarose7573]

@@DJMHallett interesting. Thanks for that, I will give it a go. ❤️

[@jillclaydon]

Hi Deb, what bleach do you use ?

[@DJMHallett]

I used basic grocery store bleach, neat for the painting and with water for the splatters 😊

[@kaamorse]

Wow! Do you have a Tim Holtz Affiliate link?

[@DJMHallett]

No I don’t but I love his products 😊

[@lindadunstall1790]

Very interesting. I will have a go. Ta Deb!🥰🙏🦘
