The challenge today sponsored by Toni asked us to use beads on our card. I had a special request from an elderly man who asked me to make a fancy card for his 'Lady Friend'. I thought he was so sweet to do this for her. I spent a little more time than ususal. I started by embossing the edge with a spellbinder border. I computer generated the sentiment and attached it to a off white embellishment. I ran the ribbon through. I added two brads which I added silver beads as I did to the center of my flowers. The flowers were made by using punches and pinching them. Added leaves and attached to card. I used white glue to make the centers. I added the braid on bottom. The pearls were colored silver with a silver leaf pen. tfl
