I wish I could say that I am perfectly happy with how this turned out, but I am a little on the dissatisfied side. First off the picture does not really do justice to the centre image, IRL it is much more vibrant. Sadly the flash kept reflecting on the micro beads. The new colors are amazing though. When I first got a peak at them from demonstrators who had been on the cruise, I had been disappointed! I did not want to see my lovely present In colors disappear, and my mind was closed to the new. Now that I have the new colors in my hand, I am amazed at how much I love them. They have so grown on me.
Now the reason I am unsure about this card is because of the size of the main beaded image. Because I normally stick to one main stamp set each club, I had to work with what I had. The images are not that big so I could not do a larger panel and be left with all that blank space. So I opted with this more narrow one. Then came the trick of placement. How to make such a small panel not get lost in the whole card. I opted with the sketch challenge on Splitcoast from a couple of weeks ago. Hope you like.
Recipe:
Stamps: All in the Family, Sanded, Quick Thinking
Paper: Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango, Pacific Coast, Whisper White
Ink: Baha Breeze, Tangerine Tango, Pacific Coast
Other: Red line tape, Micro beads, Watercolor crayons, White Gel Pen
Images were stamped, colored and sponged after cutting pieces. Red line tape was applied over main image and then it was pressed with micro beads. ( I keep my micro beads in a container for ease of use). Images were matted, greeting was placed and everything was adhered to Sanded background. White gel pen was used around.
Well gotta run, and cut out all my projects for this and the next class. Have a fantastic evening.

I looks so lovely! I have soooo missed your cards!!!
Adorable!!! Love that white edging on the card. BTW, I’ve read not to use a flash on pictures and it does seem to work.
