Look what happens when bleach is applied to dark colored paper.

Dish Washer Detergent:
• apply a thin layer of dish washer detergent (not dish detergent) to a stamp - use your finger or a disposable foam brush; stamp onto dark, non-coated cardstock. Allow to dry naturally, or, if you aren't patient, heat with heat gun for surprising results.

Examples of Stamping with Dish Washer Detergent or Liquid Bleach

Liquid Bleach:
• fold several layers of paper toweling, place in a flat bottomed container. Spray or pour liquid bleach (not diluted) onto the paper towels just until saturated; tap stamp lightly onto the paper towels, then onto paper.

• pour liquid bleach into a spray bottle; place paper into box for spray control - this gives great backgrounds.

• stamp onto dark cardstock, emboss with black powder. Using a natural bristle brush, color the interior of the stamped image with liquid bleach - voila, a light image on a dark background.

Cleaning Up:
• Use plain water and clean thoroughly. With dishwasher detergent, it may be helpful to scrub with an old toothbrush to clean crevasses. If desired, stamp onto clear or tinted embossing pad and the glycerine in the pad will remoisturize your stamp.
