Making a card....

[i-smile-big.livejournal.com]

I made a black card stock card for my dad, and in felt on the front there are letters that say happy father's day and little polka dots.

1. Any nice way to get the gluey stuff I got on the black part off? I was doing it in the semi-dark and couldn't tell how much glue was on the card. It's just thinly spread glue in spots. Maybe a q-tip and...something?

2. I have some gel pens my aunt gave me for my birthday. I'd never used them, and I had a yelloe one I thought would match my felt front, but it turns out it doesn't show up on the black card. I tried other colors too. What's the deal, I thought that's what gel pens were all about. Anyone know what else I could use to write on black? I have no white out pens or anything, no silver pens...is there anything you guys know of that shows up on black and that I might have? I could try and thinly paint it?
