Oooooo... I just tried stamping with bleach for the first time this weekend. I have always been a bit scared to try, because I thought it was going to be messy, but it wasn't.

It was a LOT of fun and very addictive. Super easy too!

How exactly do you bleach stamp? I have never heard of it before. If you happen to have a kink you could send me, I'm at LisaWaters3@gmail.com.

It's actually very easy, but I did find that not all different kinds of bleach work with this technique.

Take a glass dish (I used Pyrex), and line it with several layers of paper towels. I took 3 or four, and folded them into quarters, and placed them in the dish.

Carefully pour the bleach on top, saturating your "ink pad" without making it really squishy. As I mentioned above, I tried different bleaches before I got it to work, with plain old Javex being the successful one. The bleach for colours didn't do a thing. I think it needs to be pure, with nothing added in it.

Stamp your stamp into the bleach, and then onto your cardstock. You should see the beginnings of the colour change immediately. If you don't, you either don't have enough bleach in your paper towel, or it's not pure bleach.

Once you have finished, clean your stamp with soap and water. I wouldn't leave the bleach on there any longer than you have to as you don't want to damage the rubber.

Good luck!

I didn't use the papertowels I think I just put the bleach in a bowl. I will try this again. Thank you so much for posting this. I have seen it done on some layouts and it looks really nice. I wanted to try it. I'll have to try it soon. I'll let you know how it works for me
