ILPM's #110 - Bead It!

For this weeks challenge over on I ♥ ProMarkers we would like to see beads on your work.  Our sponsor of this challenge is Digi Doodle Shop and the prize is a $10 gift certificate to spend in their online store.

Here's my DT card.

This image is called Foxgloves and you can buy and download it HERE  I just love the flower images from Digi Doodle Shop, they make a nice change from cute...... lol.  I used purple beads which I had intended to sew onto the BP but then I stuck the BP to the card base, forgetting about stitching, so ended up using silicone glue to attache them.  I think the BP's are from a Papermania stack and for the die cut borders I used a Cheery Lynn die.  I used the retro flower punch for the flowers and added pearls to the centres, the card base if from Craftwork Cards.

I'm entering this card into the present challenge over on Cheery Lynn Designs this week, who's theme is 'Easter'.  Now I don't usually do Easter cards, but I've had this LOTV stamp for ages and it's never been used, so thought this was the ideal opportunity.  The image is coloured with ProMarkers, the BPs are from the 'Pocketfull of Posies' stack by DCWV, the die cut is of course by Cheery Lynn.  The flowers were cut with the Retro Flower punch and the sentiment is a freebie from Netty.
