Stay Strong


Hello everyone!
It's halftime at the Dream Factory! Here is my new creation for our current challenge - "Aquaman"



I was very inspired by our guest designer Cornelia. She used the bleach technique for her card. 
I've never tried this before and was eager to see how it worked. - A really great and fun technique I must say!! 

For the background I sponged a panel with Distress Oxide inks, splashed water on the back, let it soak and then crumpled it up. I left it like this and smoothed it slightly after it was almost dry. I sponged again with Distress, Stampin'Up and Versafine inks and worked out the wrinkles - the more they absorb ink, the more they appear darker. As soon as I liked the result, I run the panel through the Cuttlebug to smooth it out, and let it dry completely.

I stamped all seaweeds and sea creatures....  ....and then came the trick with the bleach! 
With a fine brush and bleach, I washed the stamped images clean. This is really very fast and... 
...if you have only used water-based inks before, the white of the paper comes out very well again! 
I noticed this with the Versafine inks. They are not water based and are less easy to remove - but  this can give very nice effects after re-coloring!  

After all images were clean I colored them with alcohol markers. The bubbles are highlighted with white gel pen.
When everything was ready, I cut the panel to size, glued it to a white card base and added the sentiment.
I really like the result!
