How to do Bleach Stamping



This project is moderatelt easy and shows you how to create a batiked effect using bleach and a leaf stamp.

Materials Needed

One piece of wine colored paper 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Colorbox velvet pigment pad
Leaf stamp (or flower stamp)
Household Bleach
Gold Embossing Powder
Heat Gun
Paper Towel


Directions

1) Dampen the paper towel with bleach and moisten the stamp in the bleach as you would if you were using a stamp pad.

2) Press the stamp onto dark paper and lift immediately. The bleach will gradually lighten the paper and the image will bleed slightly. If it bleeds too much, you have put too much bleach on the stamp.

3) Using the velvet colored ink pad, stamp two partial leaves in the corners of the card.. Allow it to dry before doing the next step.

4) Once the ink is dry, stamp the center leaf with ink. Cover the image with embossing powder and heat with the heat gun until image is raised.
