Today's challenge: use beads on your card. I have 2 tubes of beads that came in a multi-item ebay auction I won and never could figure out how to use them on a card. My thinking was "How do I glue these on to stay?" Then I remembered that I have these cool colored bendable wires that I could thread them on. And that's what I did! First, I ran my Lovely Lilac cs through the Big Shot using Perfect Polka Dots. Next, I stamped the sentiment and mittens using LLilac, colored in the mittens using markers and a blender pen with ink pads. The white cs is sponged, and the Turquoise panel is popped up. I punched a hole in the o to place a silver brad so I could hook the string of beads onto the card. It was wound around once. This reminds me of when I was a little girl and had yarn holding my mittens together that would run up my sleeves and around my neck. Memories....... Thanks for looking at my card! Blessings on your day! ~Roberta
