One of my favorite ways to Tie Dye on Fabric is with Bleach, so why not on Paper too! These cards all feature the Spiral Dye stamped with Ink.
It was really interesting to see how the different colored cardstock reacted differently to the bleach. The Polished Pink gave a typical white reaction, but a lot of the other colors gave a more yellowish tint or even some pink hues.
For the first card I used the Polished Pink. It gave my favorite reaction with the bleach. I added the super cute Party Puffins stamp set for a really fun Birthday card.
The card base is Mango Melody. I really like the colors of pink and orange together and Polished Pink and Mango Melody look great.
I thought I would do another Birthday card in blues, so I added Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green to the Pacific Point card. The balloons are stamped from the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set. I still had the Party Puffins stamp set on my desk, so I used that for the Happy Birthday.
I thought I would try a more grown up looking card and used the Tasteful Touches stamp set and Tasteful Labels dies for my Sentiment. The background here is Misty Moonlight. The bleach turned a softer neutral color, so I thought it looked nice on Crumb Cake. I added a couple daisies with the Medium Daisy Punch for some Flower Power to the Tie Dye look.
This last card is a bit silly. I thought the Spiral Dye stamp on the Night of Navy cardstock looked a bit like going into hyper-drive through space or maybe heading toward a black hole. I spattered some Wink of Stella to the background to give it some twinkle (doesn't show up well on the photo but it does in person). Next, I added some little space travelers from the Stellar Birthday stamp set.
When using bleach on your stamps, be sure to clean them right away. I applied the bleach with a paper towel as the bleach tends to eat up the sponges if you don't rinse them out well. Check out this video for more tips.
