MINUTE MEASURE: Is calculated by a ratio of time to effect. Are you going to have to clear your calendar or spend a second on this, and is the time spent worth the effect?

Tested Tips are based on two other unscientific criteria

Bleach StampingI tried the technique of bleach stamping on cardstock as described by Carole House on Scrap-e-pedia.com

Following Carole's directions, I got into my grubbies.  Since I have a reputation among my family as being challenged in the pouring department, I knew this was necessary for me.  I already have outfits with bleach spots on them and did not want to add to my collection.  I covered my work space with a paper bag and worked in a well ventilated area.

Bleach Stamp PadI used one of the variations that Carole listed near the end of the article and used a folded paper towel pad for my stamping.  It worked out well, but did eventually rip.  During my stamping, I went through two paper towel pads.  I was using the store brand.  You might have better luck with a name brand.  When I go through the checkout, I'm like the store brand poster child.  It wasn't a pain to change the paper towel, just make sure you do when it starts wearing thin or you may end up with extra fibers on your project.  I put the folded paper towel in a disposable plastic container and poured a small amount of bleach into the container.  It is important not to pour in too much bleach.  As Carole said, "...saturate...not soak."
