Happy Thursday!
Amy here today with a technique from your past! This was one of the first techniques I learned when I began stamping many moons ago. Stamping with bleach. Yes, it's messy. Yes, it's smelly. But it's FUN! I wanted to use the
Blast Off stamp set and have the perfect occasion to give this card away this weekend to our neighbor boy for his birthday! I thought this stamp set lended itself well to using bleach with those star images!
Stamping with bleach gives your image a fun distressed look. Do not expect it to turn out like traditional ink because it won't. I simply poured a bit of bleach on a paper towel lined plate. After stamping my stars, I just watched as the bleach took the color away from my cardstock and whalaa! It's like magic! Have any of you tried this technique? I'd love to hear about it!
Brenda mentioned yesterday that we'd LOVE to see your creations loaded into our Flickr gallery or over at our new forum,
The Neighborhood!
