Beads & Bling

Ohh la la ... look at what I won at Convention!

The Chic Boutique stamp set!!  I got pulled up to answer a question pertaining to the Sock Monkey stamp set and ended up winning this and I didn't even have to answer correctly.  LOL!

(item #113744, set of 7, $26.95)

I participated in the splitcoaststampers clean and simple (CAS) challenge #27.  The title of this challenge was "show off your bling!". 

You may not be able to see clearly in my photos, but I used Stampin' Up!'s micro beads.  Using my 2 way glue pen I applied adhesive to certain areas of my black embossed images. 
 

I then poured a generous amount of micro beads over the glued areas and poof - instant bling!  Click to enlarge the images, hopefully you can see how much fun these little beads add to my simple cards (single cards shown in my card gallery).


Here's a peek of the inside of each card.  Black card bases are always a challenge, because it is hard to write inside (unless you use a white or metallic pen).  But I added a piece of Kraft using the Top Note die and sliced it in half.  Simple solution but fun result!

Please join in and Play @ the PPA!  We can't wait to see your work and select our second Paper Artist Pick.  Sketch (PPA2) deadline is today at Noon (CST).
