need a Wow project w/ bleach!

[kimber913]

I started teaching in my home and it's going alright. My challenge is that I need a Wow! project for my next class. Something that will knock their socks off. I am already doing a splatter effect, bleaching w/ markers, and direct bleaching onto the CS. I would love any other suggestions you might have!
TIA,
Kimber

I have used the bleaching technique with my Lovely as a Tree set on close to cocoa and wow!!! The image is so clear, it's like magic waching it change!! I use one of the cases from my stamp set layer in about four folded paper towels pour in some bleach and use this as my stamp pad!!!

Did I understand that you applied bleach to your stamp and stamp that onto card stock? Doesn't bleach harm the rubber?

It might hurt the rubber it you stamped with bleach and then left it on there. But if you wash it right off, no problems!


And I've seen some really nice cards that used bleach in an aquapainter and bleached out sections of a detailed image, embossed in black, on a dark cardstock!

I like to bleach an image, then color in with SU Pastels. Here's a card I made with this technique:

Try it! It's fun and you can demo both bleach AND the pastels!

Many thanks for all who wrote in. I am still getting used to this site and I found a great spot that has all kinds of ideas! Thanks again!

One of my favorite things to do with bleach is to brayer a Spectrum pad over Whisper White cardstock, then stamp your image with Versamark. Emboss with whatever color embossing powder you want to use. Then use an old blender pen or a paintbrush to bleach out the inside of the embossed image. It's a "WOW"!
