Breaking out the beads…..

2010 August 18

Sweet Pea Stamps recently released two circular stamps in the Chin-Chou Kuik Fantasy Art Collection.   I decided to use  The Dragonfly for my card and was feeling adventurous and wanted to add some texture.  Sweeping my very messy craft room with a glance, I caught sight of my bottles of beads.   Grabbed some Crystal Effects glue and added the beads to the flowers in her hair and along the top of her head. 

 

I wasn’t sure if I liked this effect but like every project I do, I’m never happy with it only to have it grow on me :-) .  

I’m submitting this card to the following challenges:

Just Inspirational Challenge:  Fairies & Princesses

Paper Romance Challenge:  Pink & Bling

Penny’s Challenges:  Pink & Green

Mark’s Finest Papers:  Think Flowers

Stamp and Create:  Flowers

Wild Orchid Challenges:  One for the Girls

Stamp Something:  Fairy Tale Somethings

To read all the details head over to the Sweet Pea Stamps DT blog.   And if I am sounding like a broken record about making sure to become a follower of the Sweet Pea Stamps DT blog,  it’s the best way to stay up to date on new releases, sales and BLOG CANDY (see top newsflash box), woohoo.    So head over there….. whatcha waiting for?

Until next time……
