FAIRY CARD.


I received my order from Lavinia stamps yesterday so what else could I do but play with them...it would be rude not to.  
I started this one by drawing a circle for the moon on pink card stock.  Then I painted inside the circle with neat bleach, It took two coats of bleach to  get the moon really white.  I am a little impatient so I used the heat gun to  dry the first two  coats... that was not a good move, the heat turned the bleach yellow, fortunately  a third coat brought the whiteness back. The next step was to see what would happen when I stamped over the bleach. Would the bleach affect the ink. 
Much to my surprise there was no change at all. Which was great as it meant this card didn't end up in the bin. The sentiment is from a stampin up set that I can't recall the name of, it's the one with the  unicorns.
 I finished this card with a fine 2 way glue pen..... Well sort of....I am having an  "I hate fine glue pens day."  These fine pens are great for adding small amounts of glitter,... when they work that is. Unfortunately they only seem to work once, when you first get it.  And to prove it...I have a large collection of these pens that have been used once and then died.  So I ended up taking one apart this evening and used the glue by dipping the nib of yet another useless glue pen in the pool of glue that dripped from the pen I took apart.
