WPlus9 Watercolor Bleaching
Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! I’m thrilled to welcome back Kelly Latevola as a guest designer on our blog! Have you seen this technique in action before? Kelly white embossed the WPlus9 Beautiful Bouquet Dahlia stamp set and sentiment, and used Tumbled Glass, Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, and Salty Ocean Distress inks to get that gorgeous blended blue! Want to know how she made the floral portion lighter? Watch the video for details!
Enjoy!

WOW!!!! This is just STUNNING! Amazing watercoloring technique. Gorgeous card with blue
This instructional video is so well made. There are some great tips on using alcohol markers and creating the amazing drop shadow. I had to look real close to realize that the flowers were not die cut. Thank you for sharing this amazing technique with us:)

Such a beautiful card. I love all the depth you achieved on this.
how beautiful – the flower just pops and looks dimensional but it isn’t which is great for mailing
Oh, I love this! The blossom looks like sheer white fabric. Against that hue of blue, it is over the top. Wow! I HAVE to try this.

Really pretty. Video was good… but, as always, I’m watching from work. Bet it would be more helpful with sound… lol
YES, Thanks Kelly, indeed! This is amazing. Love this stamp set! I left YOU a tip at YT on another way to remove the alcohol ink from your embossed image without affecting your Copic shadow. Hope this is helpful to both you and others!
BeUtiful card, I especially like the background, how it’s so vibrant
I cringed at the word bleach, but then found it just to be water. I love it! And don’t have to worry so much about being messy! Beautifully done!
