did something a little more time consuming today.
i created an altered domino book for naurwen for the Swap-bot swap, "Domino Booklet Swap - Free Theme" in the Love to Swap group.
the book is 8 pages inside. i decorated the pages with various vintage images i got from piddix.
and the sparkles are crystal embossing powder. i had a really hard time getting all the powder to melt. i usually use the mini hairdrier, but that died (i over heated it). i tried the iron, but i don't think i got it hot enough... and burned my thumb on it. ouch! so i decided to pop the whole thing in the toaster oven. i walked a way for a minute, and came back... and it was bubbling! and the embossing powder turned a cool burnt brown color. makes it look vintage. :) anyways, all the powder melted!
i just have to label the back and it'll be ready to go to Switzerland!
