Tag it Tuesday

This week’s Tag it Tuesday showcases an exciting faux bleaching technique that’s both creative and safe! The best part is you can achieve the stunning, bleached effect without dealing with the harsh fumes of traditional bleach.

The magic behind this faux bleaching technique lies in the type of ink used. Distress Oxide inks are the secret ingredient, as they react beautifully with water, allowing you to lift the color and create that stunning bleached effect. It’s an easy, mess-free way to add unique depth and texture to your projects without using actual bleach!
