Hi friends,
I’m a big fun of techniques as you already probably know. And background techniques have a special spot in my heart. Today I want to share with you one of them – bleaching with water.
I started by wetting a watercolor panel with a clear water using a Large Watercolor Brush. Then I made a simple watercolor background using the Sea Breeze and Dusk Watercolor Brush Markers from the Spring Garden Watercolor Brush Markers Set. I was adding pigment from the markers onto the wet paper and blended it out with a clear brush.
After I finished with the background I put t aside to let dry completely.
After the panel dried I white embossed the Delicate Flower Bed Background onto the panel. And next the technique came to play. I started adding clear water inside of the white embossed flower and blotted then with a paper towel.
It created this interesting effect as if the flowers were made out of vellum and adhered onto the card.
Next I added splatters of the Pure White Ink Spray as well as pearlised water.
I die-cut letters for the sentiment out of a Jet Black and silver glitter paper using dies from the Fine Alpha Die Set and adhered then one on top another with a slight offset. After that they were adhered onto the panel.
I also white embossed a sentiment from the Delicate Flower Bed Stamp Set onto a Jet Black strip and adhered it onto the panel.
Lastly I added several Silver Crystals to accentuate the card.
Below you can find the process video where you can see how this card was made.

Have a wonderful day!
