Beaded Inspiration

This week over at Inspiration Destination the theme is Anything Goes! Oh wait! That's what the theme is every week. However, the design team is featuring lots of young lady stamps this time which inspired me to pull out this stamp and have a go at it.
It wasn't just the design team who helped me to dream up the card, it was these pesky beads:
These were passed out at my stamp club last month to challenge folks to make something with them. You could do with them whatever you liked. I ended up unstringing the beads and making jewelry for my little lady stamp. I also fancied her up with a piece of eyelash twine.

The Fine Print: Lady stamp by Hero Arts, fancy printed vellum by Hot Off the Press, photo corners by Recollections, and twine from my stash.

Very Downton Abbey. Nice job with the beads. I have the printed vellum and never figured out what to do with it, but this is a great idea.

Now I would have just tried to plonk that spray of beads onto something, I have no imagination, and I had to go back to look at the 'eyelash twine' !!!! tres elegant and something else I've learnt ! xxx
