I imagine that coloring with bleach is probably not a new idea but I loved this sweet little rabbit so much I just had to share.

It’s so easy that there are only 3 steps to the process.
1. Stamp an image on a colored piece of paper. I recommend StazOn ink – the stamp I used I can’t find online for you but here are two others I like very much – Baby Bunny and Tiny Bunny Rabbit Hopping Away
2. Color in the image with a Fantastix dipped in a bit of bleach – it may be difficult to see if you’ve finished coloring until it sets a minute. If you missed a spot you can go back and color it some more.
3. Wait
It only takes a couple of minutes for the bleaching of the paper to be seen. I’ve done this too where I put bleach on a pad of paper toweling and used it as a stamp pad. I stamped snowflakes on navy blue paper for a Christmas card background. It’s definately a “Oooo” getter.
Have you used bleach in paper crafts before? What did you make and how?
I LOVE how this looks! Bleach is such a mystery product…who knew it could turn this stamped image into something so pretty? I’m off to give this technique a try…thanks!
Thanks Martie! Let me know how it works for you!
Thank you for sharing the technique. I can’t wait to try it!
I have done several cards with what we call Jik(the brand name of our bleach) i used reindeer paper and did a beautiful elephant and a leopard. I have also done flowers using bleach and i use a small paint brush to apply the bleach. My tip is test your paper before hand on a corner that you will not be using to see if the bleach will take. Good luck and happy carding.
That is a really great tip, Lorraine. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
SUPER! Glad I could help add to your arsenal of wonderful techniques!
What a smart chica you are! I’d have never thought of this and am super thankful that you have shown me the cool technique. I am so going to try it in my art journal today!
Peace & Love,
