Before
stamping or using bleach, be sure that your area is well ventilated
and is protected. You may consider wearing clothing that you don't
mind messing up should bleach get on you. There are a few different
ways to apply liquid bleach to your stamps.
You will need:
Household Bleach (Clorox Advantage has been highly recommended) and
our Jewel-Tone papers work the best.
1. Paper Towl
Pad: Pour fresh liquid bleach onto a bed of folded paper towels...not
too much bleach, making sure it's wet but not full of puddles.
2. Fine Mist
Spritzer Bottle: Put undiluted liquid bleach in the bottle & mist
over a protected area...spray away from your face...wave the stamp
through the mist. Don't spray directly onto the stamp. The stamp only
needs to be barely damp to work on your cardstock. You'll know that
it works for you when you've tested this onto scrap cardstock.
3. Felt Pad:
Instead of using paper towles as a pad...make one of felt. Saturate
the felt. You can pour the bleach out when done & reuse the
container later with fresh bleach.
Experiment for
what works right for you and practice. When using the paper towl pad
or felt pad...dab (not push the stamp too hard in the bleach) your
stamp onto the bleach pad a few times to make sure you have it wet
& covered. Stamp your imags onto the cardstock. Hold the stamp
down for several seconds, so that the detail of the stamp gets
impressed onto the paper. If you want a lighter/less detailed
look...hold the stamp down not for very long. Watch the change. Clean
your stamps IMMEDIATELY after using them and dry. |
