Bleaching w/ color variations

[LauraHeiman]

:confused: Having real difficulty getting anywhere close to the same results I am seeing here on splitcoast with my bleaching. I am getting pretty close to all white or huge color differences between one area to another. Can you help???? I am attempting Christmas cards and like most, have a ton to make. Thank you for any help out there.

How are you applying the bleach? Lots of times I take paper towels and make a mini bleach pad on a plate. Also is the bleach you are using fresh? If it isn't then you might get strange results I tried using bleach that was too old one time and hardly got any color change at all. Another thing to remember is that the color you get will vary according to the paper some papers are better than others and sometimes cheap paper is better than the high quality stuff because it will discolor more easily.

Thank you so much!!!! I did not know about the "sudo" bleach pad idea, but I will try it. In my attempts, I have learned that the better papers are not the ones to use. Was surprised to find that one out! If you have any samples of the bleaching technique, I would love to see them. Thanks again for your reply. It was much appreciated!
