That's really really cool!!
Way to go, using a common sence approach -low tech with great results.
I'm definatley going to steal this idea before you pattend it - I swear i'll give you the credit though.
I was thinking i'd have to coerce my wife to touch up the raised lettering with a tiny paint brush, cause i'm all thumbs.

Great technique. I tried with varying results using a fine camel brush, but very tedious. I will try your method.
