Beaded Birthday!

The new challenge over at  Promarkers is to 'bead it!'

Sounds a simple enough challenge - but its been a while since I used beads for anything and I am quite out of practice! These little beads just dont keep still!


I threaded them onto thin wire and wound it around a scalloped circle nestie, then placed the layered image over the top, trapping the beads! I used an old cardstock from a stack, maybe DCWV Nanas Nursery? and some papermania Portobello papers (loving the colours and designs of these!)

The image I used is a Greeting Farm Digi Stamp, Cupcake Anya and it was coloured using promarkers. I added the sentiment to a strip of card using one of the new Tonic 'Happy Birthday' Funky Pattern Tape. It's a great little tool, like a glue roller but with Happy Birthday in different fonts ready to just roll out!
