It seems ages since I did any beading or jewellery making so when I saw this challenge it got me going. It would have been easy to make a flower or use one of my Snippets but why take the easy way out when you can torment yourself with tiny beads? So I made some butterflies using mainly size 11 beads and added them to this card:
The stamp is from Hero Arts; the DP is Butterfly Garden from Wild Rose Studios and although the colours, yellow and purple, arent ones I'd normally use together, I think they are ok here.
This card fits the following challenges:

Now for the Bling! A friend is going to a wedding on Friday and she asked me to make a necklace to match her dress which is mainly green with white and black. So this is what I turned out plus a pair of matching earrings. I'm still working on her card for the bride and groom.....will post it later on in the week if I remember to take a photo.
Thanks for looking.
