Lasting Lily and Watercolor Lifting

Watercolor lifting is a technique that was featured by Stampin' Up with a video, so I thought, lets's try this out...

Here is my end result... scroll below picture to read the rest of the story

I am the first to admit if something does not go as planned... as this was one of those projects. I followed the instructions but may have waited a little longer before trying to lift off the watercolor wash background and it did NOT look like it was supposed to. Hardly any ink had come off and you could not tell a difference... It almost went into the trash...
But then I had a good idea, if I can say so myself... I got out some bleach and painted a little over the watercolor wash background, and YES! SCORE! That totally made it awesome!

So if you play with it and run into the same problem, don't give up, just go get some bleach!!!
