Treats on Tuesday with Christine - La gâterie du mardi avec Christine


Hi Everyone, it's Christine here with another card using bleach stamping, this time using a solid stamp on a Nuance sprayed background from my stash.

I place the stamp in my stamp positioner and added bleach on kitchen paper pressing it to the stamp a little at a time to create the image. As the bleach removes the image you can see where more is needed. I cleaned the stamp then once the image dried I inked it with Hero Arts Contour Ink. The Contour Ink adds a very subtle colour allowing me to see the image a little more clearly. I used pencils to colour the image and add defining lines to the leaves and berries. I used White Posca pen to add white to the wild flower heads.
For the background I used a flower stamp and Mandala stencil using Hero Arts Unicorn White ink.


The bleach expands the image a little and loses definition as it is absorbed into the water colour paper, but I love the look of the lighter colour almost a glow behind the image.

Bleaching really makes the stamp stand out. That background is lovely with those pretty colors mixed.

I've never tried bleach directly on the stamp - just used it to pull colour out of the background after stamping with a line image. Great effect and gorgeous colours!
