BEADS AT LESS IS MORE

Hi lovely bloggers, I'm  hoping you are all safe, well, and warm, wherever you are.

*********  

I was determined to enter the Less Is More challenge this week, as it's a while since I've joined in, due to a holiday and other things which got in the way.  

Chrissie and Jen's theme is "USE BEADS", and although I have lots of beads, I very rarely use them on my cards, so I really had to get my thinking cap on for this one, and I'm still not totally happy with the result! I will let you be the judge, so here it is:-

Recipe:-

The colours are much more attractive IRL (honest!). 

To create the heart I used a small, old, metal cookie-cutter (originally used for shaping Fimo clay) - placed it on a piece of card, then squeezed lots of Glossy Accents into the bottom of the cutter, adding a deep layer of red micro beads, then more Glossy Accents, topped with coloured seed beads and pearls, and a sprinkling of Glamour Dust.

After the glue had set, the heart was removed from the cutter and 

peeled off the card. I was amazed how easily it came out!

The double frame was created with Nestie Classic Squares (Small).

Thanks so much for visiting -
