PRICK N STITCH / BEAD EMBROIDERY

I was feeling a little light headed and dizzy today (Meniere's) so I needed to do something while staying put in my chair ... this is what I created:


All the beads and sequins are hand sewn onto the cardstock




I have a cupboard filled to the brim  - beads, sequins, gems, trims, etc etc .... all from when I used to make a lot of belly dance costumes, so I have  a HUGE stash from which to choose ... almost like my own little store!

Also used on this card are

white cs base
orange cs mat
peel of sentiment - recoloured with a Sharpie

Thanks for visiting today
