I love creating interesting effects using my ink collection. One of the things I love using is bleach. And even more exciting is the fact that all dye inks can be bleached to create amazing effects.

Let’s take a look at home amazing the end result is.

• Step 1

  Use four colours of dye ink to blend a piece of white cardstock. I used a selection of Memento Ink colours.



• Step 2

  Stamp images onto the blended background using VersaFine Onyx Black ink.



• Step 3

  To add some highlights to the images I used bleach (Jik) and painted selected areas on my stamped image.

The bleach bleaches out the dye ink on the background to a lighter colour, and even changes to a different colour in certain areas.

The finer details:

• Only once the bleach dries will the end effect be visible
• The more bleach you add the lighter the ink will become
• Use a synthetic paint brush to paint your bleach with – the bleach will burn away natural bristles on good quality paint brushes
• Bleach can be used on any dye ink as well as plain coloured cardstock
• Each colour of ink and cardstock will bleach to a different colour for a stunning end result
