Rainbow Craft

Stamp an image with bleach and reveal a colorful background.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Apply one color of pigment ink with a sponge (here, Certainly Celery).
   

   

2. Step 2

   Apply the next color of pigment ink (here, Lavender Lace). Make sure the entire piece of cardstock is covered. Let dry, or use a heat tool to set the ink.

   

3. Step 3

   Apply darker dye ink over entire cardstock with a brayer.
   
   Eggplant Envy was used here, as Basic Black does not work. Apply several coats to cover all color. Let dry again.

   

4. Step 4

   Apply bleach to the stamp with a foam brush.
   
   Tip: A makeshift bleach pad can be made by folding a paper towel and placing it on a disposable plate. Add a little bit of bleach, and use that to apply bleach to the stamp.
   

   

5. Step 5

   Stamp the bleached image on the brayered cardstock.
   

   

6. Step 6

   Let dry and finish the project.
