More Micro Beads

Good morning all!  I managed to get a quick pic of this card before they swept it away from me to be sent off to the email recipient (If you have ever wondered what the carpeting looks like in the halls of Create and Craft, look no further than behind the card! LOL)   It was an impromptu demo that was based on another card.   We had sold out of the ribbon so I had to change the card around a bit to make use of what I had left.  This was the last demo I was allowed to do using the clear micro beads ( that I completely love!) too.   I picked a piece of background paper from my stash, this happens to be Graphic 45.  I adhered the sticky adhesive sheet to it and then cut it to the size that I wanted.  I peeled the other side of the backing paper to expose the sticky sheet and covered it in the clear micro beads.  Now I know my photographic skills are legendary (legendary because they are sooooo bad), so you will have to really look closely at the background to see the micro beads.  When you see them in real life, they are really nice and give a lovely textural feel to your cards and projects.  I also stamped my sentiment on a piece of matching card, peeled the backing off the sticky sheet and applied it over my sentiment.  I used the small size of the Splendid Circle die to align over the sentiment and cut it.  |You can see through the backing paper just enough to get your sentiment where you need it.  Once cut, peel the backing paper off and cover with the micro beads.  The beads are clear enough that you can read the sentiment without issue. I think the picture looks like there is glitter on it , but it is just the shine from the beads.   I backed my sentiment with a Persian accent piece and then centred it in the largest Splendid circle die cut into a frame out of  black card.  I cut two more circles, using the next two smaller sizes to create three circle frames on my card.  I added a messy bow using the black American seam binding and topped it with one of the lacy layered flower dies.  I added two lattice corners at the top.  I ran out of time, but I think a couple of lattice corners for the bottom would have finished it off nicely (imagine them there, okay!)  I pierced the edge as I do and called it a day!  All for now, Sue x
