Make it Monday: Heat Embossing & Bleach

Have you ever seen a card that’s stamped on dark card stock but then something is colored in lighter and you wonder how did they do that?  Well, that’s what we have going on with this card.  Let me tell you how it was done.

The Wilderness Awaits

The elk from The Wilderness Awaits stamp set was stamped on Chocolate Chip card stock with VersaMark and then heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder.  To get the elk’s hair and accents on the rock lighter, I used my Aqua Painter with regular household bleach and painted the elk being careful to paint within the lines.  This bleaches the paper creating a lighter image.
