Beaded Stencil Design

I came across this card that I made sometime ago but thought it was worth a look. Looking back at previous posts I have used this stencil before with snow tex paste but this time I have added embossing powder to the paste and then dried with a heat gun. The embossed panel has been glued to a square of white felt which I have stitched around each side to attach a cople of rows of beading. The corners of the card are made in the same way as the main panel but just using part of the stencil. The background of the card has been created by placing the stencil on the card and then dabbing with red a pale blue dye ink with a small sponge dauber. (The same ink was sponged onto the square panel before applying the snow tex paste and embossing powder.)Before attaching the beaded panel to the card I have glued on some sequin ribbon. Once the panel was put in place I finished the corners off with a clear, flat backed gem.

Graphicus, March Challenge

Good morning everyone, it's lovely and sunny with a perfect blue sky here today, so I thought I would post my Graphicus Challenge as it is a nice sunny yellow inspired piece. Glenda set the March challenge as the colour yellow and the title Song. Mmm I thought..... what could I do to incorporate both of these elements and use Elusive Images stamps. Well I came up with this creation, when you see the title you will probably think Cheesy! but I couldn't stop humming the tune!

I started off with an A5 canvas board and spritzed it with yellow and orange glimmer mists (sorry can't remember the exact colour names), then I stamped the corner swirl and daisy collage stamp onto white tissue paper using light brown staz-on, which I then glued onto the canvas with watered down PVA glue. When dry I sponged the edges with yellow acrylic paint. I found a brass stencil in my stash that had a similar pattern to the Elusive Image corner stamp so used in the opposite corner with snow tex paste. When this was dry I dabbed it with the yellow acrylic paint. The butterfly has been made by stamping the butterfly stamp into green hearty clay and cutting out. when it was dry I dabbed yellow glimmer mist over the surface and attached wire and beads as the antenna. It was attached to the canvas with silicone glue. The title was stamped with an alphabet set in black staz-on. The holes at the top and bottom of the canvas was made using a Crop A dile and the beads threaded onto beading wire. To finish off two paper sunflowers were added using silicone glue. Voila!
