When you said "Bead it" I should have translated it to "Beat it" and run for my life. But I didn't - and everything that could go wrong - did. But I do have a card and up close, it's actually quite nice looking. It won't go through the mail without losing it's beads, I'm sure, but it IS pretty.
I will tell you what I did, but don't do it. I started with an embossed piece of white CS. I added glue to the center and smooshed beads on it. I couldn't find my spray glue, so I thought paint might work and I sprayed the whole thing with clear spray paint. Now it smells bad. :( Next I cut the Kraft and Red ovals and put them over the top. Looking good so far, so I die cut a couple butterflies with a nestie die and put them on with a brad. The red one is embossed with gold along the edges. It really is quite nice looking, but not too practical. But...I have another idea. tfl

Carol, thanks for sharing what we SHOULDN'T do......that is sometimes more helpful than what to do! : ) I like your bead bg is gorgeous with the butterfly and that rich shade of red.
