I 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.
I 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." Click "Next>>" link below for page 2 - First Try.
