When I saw the challenge for today I thought maybe I could use "faux" beads. So I did a quick sketch, you can see it to the left of my card.
Then I remembered awhile back I had made some of those paper beads. Now I just needed to find where I put them! So glad I did.
This is one of those bazzaro cards, not quite sure if I like it but had fun making it. Plus this lady's neck reminds me of mine......on the large size. hehe
Pulled out my Gelli Plate, did some printing, painting, stenciling and wal-la a card was born. A totally different style from my usual which usually has a cow on it...again hehe
That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by, hope this isn't too crazy for ya'll....TFL :0)

I love the green bg..and that nose..that caught my eye before anything...really weird (ie-weird-good) in a modern art sort of way. Love the handmade beads!

You are ever so creative! :-) Love the paper beads and love your Gelli BG even more! Just bought a plate the other day and haven't had time to get messy with it yet!

Saw your name and no cow and almost wanted to get my magnifying glass out too see where you hid him. Love the sketch and great way to put those beads to good use. Sweet.
