The Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge this week was to use beads. I'm not so good with the larger beads, but I love seed beads in all sorts of ways - stitched on, stuck on, and for beading.
So, for this card I used the peacock from Strut Your Stuff, stamped with Rangers Archival Black on white card, and coloured with H2Os. I distressed the edges and layered it up on teal and black card, and added a sentiment. The base is a pearlescent silver, with some embossing added. I beaded a flower in peacock colours, and added a centre with a Build-a-Brad and some holographic card.

What a gorgeous peacock and your beading is a spectacular accent. Brilliant to put holographic in your build a brad! I'm trying to figure out how you did your embossing. You must have a template for that. tfs!
