While I was visiting my Mom back in October, I did quite a few paper embroidery pieces, some with beads. This is one of them, worked up here as an ornament.
I cut the lacy circle first, then pierced the holes , then did the embroidery adding beads as I went along. There is a mess up in here, if you look closely, one thread has one to many beads. This is a variegated metallic embroidery thread by Sulky.
The dove is stamped with Versa Mark and embossed with a holographic gold ep.
To make the double bow I tied it in the center with gold embroidery floss.
Once you get the hang of paper embroidery, this technique is really quite easy.

This one made up into a really nice ornament. It is so cold here this morning that my fingers wouldn't work to do the embroidery. It was -3. Hopefully some clouds will come in to keep it a little warmer tonight.
