Extra Terrestrial (E.T.)

Many years ago a movie came out about a friendly alien that lands on Earth entitled E.T. starring Drew Barrymore. I didn't watch this movie as a kid (yeah I know I lived in a closet!) but this card that I whipped together made me think of this movie.
Now that my 4 month old is staying awake more often (which is a good thing!) and my 3 year old is really enjoying 'Mama School' carving out craft time can be a challenge. I wanted to make a card for the Technique Twist  bleach challenge and here's what I did: I tried the bleach gel pen but for some reason it was too goopy (is that a word?) so I decided to stick with good ol' spray bleach. I sprayed the bleach on a napkin and simply blotted my dark blue circle. I heat embossed the sentiment and added some twine to give it a softer edge.

I'm linking up to the party and looking forward to seeing what's in store for the next challenge.

Now all my card needs is an alien!
