Playing with Bleach – contest

I went through my closet like a blizzard 2 weeks ago and – alas – managed to get rid of 40% of my stuff, the things I really don’t wear anyways. There were a few t-shirts though, that were still “good”, but needed something to renew my interest.

Yesterday I took a red t-shirt,  stamps from the “border lines” stamp set, one of my favourites, and some good old bleach (poured onto a paper towel on a plastic plate).

The result was very interesting, it looks a bit like a “reverse tie die”. The very subtle effect is sweet, just enough to make you look and not too much in your face:

Hope you enjoyed this idea, share your t-shirts and other bleach projects with us! Post a link in the comments. We will give away a stamp set to one of the comments with link to a bleach project.

Happy stamping!
