How to add beads to this beautiful card designed by our Jellypark Design Team member Gaynor Greaves.

Step 1

Print digi image, I've used Typewriter, colour using your preferred medium, mine is prisma colour pencils blended with Sansodor, colours warm grey 10%, 30%, 50%, Ivory, Process Red, Hot pink and Black.

Step 2

Make your pins next so they can dry while you work on the rest of your card. You will need flat head pins 5cm in length, bead caps, bead spacers, beads in various sizes and glossy accents. First dab a bit of glossy accents at the top of the pin and add the largest bead, then keep applying a small amount of Glossy accents as you add each bead, I use a cocktail stick for this, keep going till you reach your desired effect. Hang the pin

Step 3

Die cut your image, then die cut two larger pieces of card to match your project. Cut backing paper and Matting card to fit inside a 6 x 6 inch card blank and add to the card.

Step 5

Matt and layer the image and attach to card.

Place your handmade pins just under the twine on the left, then using glue ( I use a hot glue gun ) attach the flowers over the pins to secure in place, finish off by adding the flat backed pearls and sentiment.
