Nice - I love it. Did you use clear embossing powder for your back ground stamp?

Ok - how did you get the bleach to show so much detail? I always make a big mess. Someone suggested to me to put some bleach on a folded paper towel and use it like a stamp pad. Is that the way you do yours? Very nice! Your MIL is a lucky woman.

Answers: the clear embossing powder is used with the black craft ink for the woman.

I folded sever layers of paper towel and put in in a shallow dish and poured bleach on it. I moved the towels around to make sure they soaked up all the bleach and weren't too wet -- really just damp all the way through. Then I stamped it. If you use too much bleach you'll lose the detail.
