Can someone explain bleaching to me?

[4myprincesa]

I'm totally new to stamping & have seen the cards made with the bleaching technique, but I can't find a tutorial on how this is done. Anyone care to explain it to me or head me in the right direction on the site?

TIA!

It strikes me as funny that I am giving anyone advice about how to find anything -- I am having a lot of fun stumbling around on this website ! But this is what you should do --
go into Search on the blue and then go into advanced search. Type in bleach as the keyword, then have it check in Techniques.
Hope this helps ! If it does, you are going to be set!
I am learning a lot about computers and a lot about stamping from this site! .

Cathy H is right. Use the search box in the techniques forum and you'll find lots of info. Basically, bleach can be used two ways.
1) with a rubber stamp - you make a pad from paper towels and stamp the bleach onto colored cardstock. Results depend a lot on how long you hold the stamp on the paper.

2) bleach can be used with a brush or aqua-painter to lighten areas of a previously stamped image.
