Friends of Flourishes Timeless Tuesday

"It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC14)! This week Betty Wright is hosting. She is challenging us to use beads. There are all kinds of shapes and sizes as well as materials that beads come in. You can choose from the tiniest microbeads to the largest you can find to add to your card. Halfback beads count, too!!! There are glass beads, plastic beads, wooden beads, clay beads, and paper beads to name a few. Enjoy! Can't wait to see what you create!"

Oddly enough, I was cleaning out my crafting room when I stumbled upon all my beads from my jewelry making days. (whew, challenge problem solved! :)) When I saw these beads, I knew I had to use the Strut Your Stuff stamp set! And since my paisley dies were sitting on my desk, I happened to notice that the peacock would fit quite nicely with the largest die!

I wanted to place the beads onto the circle part of the peacock feather. I dropped small, round balls of glue on the tail feathers. Then I poured the beads all over and pressed down. After a few mintues, I shook off the excess beads. The peacock is colored with Copics and the background was airbrushed with BV000. (a pale blue/violet)

Beads were also placed inside each of the scallops. Crazy, but hey, it looks cool. Tweezers helped me out a ton! :) Sticking with the Paisley theme, the card base was embossed with the Paisley Impressabilities from Spellbinders.
