Bleach stampin question!

[dbeattie]

Hey all! I'm trying to do bleach stamping and having a hard time determining the amount of bleach to pour onto the baby wipes. Does anyone have any suggestions??

I have a hard time with that too, so now I use a bleach pen.

But how do you ink the entire stamp? You don't paint bleach on it do you?

I actually put my bleach into a bowl then dab onto a damp paper towel or baby wipe...I also use a paint brush and dab bleach directly onto the stamp...This is what works for me...Liquid bleach doesn't give me quite the results I desire. I am sure if I practiced with it more it would work better for me! HTH Good Luck!

Actually, I do!

I smear the bleach on (it's in a gel, not liquid) then stamp. If you're afraid that there's too much bleach on your stamp, stamp it off on scrap paper first.

Immediately after I'm done stamping, I wipe the excess off with a tissue, then clean my stamp with a baby wipe (so it doesn't bleach my stampin' scrub), THEN I clean it on the stampin' scrub with the stampin' mist to re-condidtion the rubber.

Works fine!

Here's a card did like this.
