Day 31: Butterfly Fairy Domino Book

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.

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!
