Beads On Cards

So here is a card for the wonderful sketch from Katharina on the Papertake Weekly Challenge blog this week. I decided to play around with beads on cards again partly inspired by the little beaded tassels on the card I made for the Whiff of Joy Guest Designer call and partly by my Mum who suggested I had a go at some bead embroidery on my cards.

I love the effect but oh boy do you need patience :) Even for this very simple beaded tasseled border on some organza ribbon. Even so I definitely think I will be doing more cards with beads in the future.



Materials:
Stamps - Hanglar and Stanglar; HOTP
Colouring - Promarkers
Ink pads - VersaFine Black and Sepia
Papers - Me & My Big Ideas
Other - Beads; Brown sparkle card stock; Organza ribbon; Invisible thread; Piercing wheel
