I hope you all had a good Christmas and received at least a couple of fun new crafty items.
As we come to the end of 2023 lets get off to a clean start for 2024 by getting out our bleach and using various bleach techniques.
We have a few tutorials here, and I'm including a couple of "faux" options, which essentially are embossing resist ;-).

Watercolor Powders Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers - step 6 here uses bleach to lighten an area coloured with Brushos etc. This is one of my favourite bleach techniques. It means you can use a background you've created, stamp on it and heat emboss, then bleach out the image and either leave it bleached or have a clean slate to add in different colours.

**My top tip. If you are using a brush to add bleach, take super care NOT to drip any where you don't want it. It's far too easy to do.
