I bleached this photo after doing some textured background techniques and collaging some misc papers I had lying around... Bleaching is so easy and fun, and I love how it gives an antique feel to any picture... Just briefly dip the pic in water, then a bleach solution (two parts water to one part bleach) and watch the years drift off the page... The blue pigment will lift off first, then the red and yellow last... play around with how long to leave it in the bleach solution (just keep in mind more pigment will lift off when you give it a final rinse under cold water)... then pat with a paper towel and Voila!!!
The journaling reads...
