Just Believe stamped with Bleach!

Well I mentioned before that participated in several swaps this summer; it’s one of the perks of being a demonstrator. (Don’t know what a swap is, read about it here.) I’ve received over 160 techniques samples back form Eve Marie and the samples that my fellow swappers created are AMAZING!

Every Thursday for the next few weeks I’ll be sharing the technique samples that I created for the swap. My favourite (and the technique with the highest potential for a poor (clothing) outcome) is Stamping With Bleach. I used the Just Believe stamp set (yes again) and stamped the large flower image directly on cardstock. (Other Just Believe samples can be seen here, here and here.) To stamp with bleach, you just need to “ink” up your image with bleach. I found it was easiest to use a small paint brush to apply the bleach to the stamp.

I used the retired colour Really Rust in this example.

Here’s what the fabulous new incolours (Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizazz and Poppy Parade) look like when bleached. I think I like the bleached Poppy Parade the best. Which one is your favourite?

Looking for the other samples I created? Here they are: Rolling Marble Background, Faux Silk, Tearing Cardstock/DSP, Colouring Ribbon,Stampin’ Spots Background, and Compressed Sponge Wipe.

I now have an inspiring binder of techniques that you can browse to select which techniques you’d like me to share with you and your friends at your next in-home techniques class. Next time we meet, ask to see my techniques binder, or you can browse my online techniques album with all the samples (unfortunately the camera doesn’t do justice to these wonderful samples).

Happy crafting.
