Hi Everybody,
It is such a compliment to me to see the pearls sprays popping up on many cards and I am so glad that you liked them enough to add them to your own designs
Well this little video takes it one step further and shows you how to create flowers from the pearls that you are finding if difficult to otherwise make use of
Here I have tucked them into my flowers to add that extra touch to the corsage and the size of the flowers will depend on the size of the beads that you use.
But it is an excellent way to use up all those that are sitting there and that you are thinking of simple throwing away.
The flowers are from
Wild Orchid Crafts and they have new flowers coming in all the time.
The pearls around the edge of the frame are self adhesive strips from
Want2Scrap
This is a mixture of Carnations, Roses, Tulips and the pearl flowers and I have used
Glitter Magic to add more sparkle
The background to this card is the Tied Together die from
JGDCrafts
And if you don't want to add them to your flowers then simply add them to a bow to cover the knot.
The organza ribbon for this bow is from
Mei Flower and it has been tied in a double bow
using a bow maker
Another pretty idea to add to some of your "Girly" cards
And here is handy tip from Margaret Bowe who wrote to tell me that if you glue a piece of velvet to an 8" paper plate it stops your beads rolling all over the place ... and it is cheaper than a shop bought bead tray .... YaaaaY !! Thank you Margaret
More tomorrow...
Hugs xx
