Craft Stampers Take It Make It Challenge for June - Bleach Blocking!!

Our new Take It Make It Challenge over at the Craft Stamper Magazine Blog starts this morning. If you've already had your magazine by subscription you will have had a sneaky peek at the "bleach blocking" technique, if not then the magazine is available from today in all good craft shops and WH Smiths.
I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and make something bright (think I managed that one lol.) So inked up a background of Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks, then taking the name literally, got the cleaning spray out! This does work with water, but I wanted a more dramatic look, for my background.

Sprayed the bleach cleaner on to a plate and used a couple of different sized make-up sponges to create the blocks. The ink disappeared before my eyes lol, but how cool is that background, I didn't want to cover it up!
In the end I decided to use the "Uptown Girl " stamp from Stampingbella, coloured with Promarkers and cut out, so most of the background could still be seen.
I had great fun (as you probably guessed) with this technique and I'm sure you will too, please remember to stamp on your project and also to have a direct link back to the project on your blogs, so the DT can check out your creations.
As always we have a fabulous prize up for grabs and the winner will have their card printed in a future copy of the Craft Stamper Magazine.
Good luck and I'll see you over at the blog!
