I'd like to ask about stamping with bleach. Does this ruin your stamps &
must I use special coloured paper / card or will any quality do?

Stamping with bleach - I've never actually used the bleach on a stamp.
What I have done is stamp an image, emboss it, and then use a watercolor
brush to paint the image (the embossing helps you "stay inside the
lines"), using the bleach as "paint." Other effects can be created by
spritzing bleach onto a colored image or paper and then letting it dry
(great for creating cool backgrounds).

I've stamped directly with bleach, using a folded paper towel as an "ink
pad". I rinse my stamps thoroughly the instant I'm done stamping, and
they've shown no ill effects.

Bleach is most impressive on dark, non-glossy paper. What's interesting to
me is the way different black papers take the bleach; depending on how
they're made, the image comes out anything from pure white to reddish to
greenish.

Because bleach is very liquid, it will pool and puddle a bit, so fine
detail stamps don't work with this technique. Blocky ones do, and produce
an effect that reminds me of batik.
