Another Try At Beading ...
May 29, 2008
Thought I'd give my beaded design another run. (Here is my first try.) My second try was a flop - didn't take a snap of that one - bad clash of the purples! Here is my third go.
Quick summary of what I used: Baroque Motifs and Sincere Salutations stamp sets, Regal Rose and Encore Gold ink (and Basic Black too), Confetti White cardstock and some beads from my stash.
Think I might give it another run with different colours - maybe some silvers and grey - stay tuned! It is a bit of a fiddly design but lots of fun.
Cheers, Sue

Yes indeedy! It sometimes feels like dodging a bullet and then getting presented with a bouquet of roses on the other side :)

Thanks so much Lin Mei. The shadowing was a bit of an accident! I did the greeting in black then didn't really like it so went over the top in gold. Amazing how often mistakes turn into nice surprises!

Sue, this is a beautiful card in so many ways! The beading is excellent, the colour scheme includes metallic gold (which I love) and the shadowed sentiment is such a sophisticated touch! I especially like the little gold flowers with beads as their centres.
