Toni,
I've never tried the gel dishwasher detergent idea...do you water it down so it's not so thick or what? How exactly does this work? Does it make a difference as to what brand of detergent is used? Does it matter if it's scented or unscented (I usually buy the lemon scented)? Your second idea is very clever...but it sounds like a lot of work. "Toni Whitnell" wrote in message ... You can try two things- one is gel dishwasher detergent. It smells much nicer and bleaches just as well. Or without using any bleach at all, stamp your image onto manila file folder with clear embossing ink and powder. Heat to emboss. You can color several ways- watercolor, brayered ink, or dye reinkers brushed on. Some people stop there, I like to iron the piece between two pieces of typing/computer paper to remove all the embossing. You get a bleached look, with no bleach -- ...^,,^ Toni ^,,^... |

I just brush it on full strength with a foam brush. I've only tried the
lemon scent Cascade, but I'm sure others would work just as well. -- ....^,,^ Toni ^,,^... The smallest feline is a masterpiece. ...Leonardo DaVinci "annafine" wrote in message m...
