I started this card this summer, but did not have a chance to finish it because college started up, and it's been a crazy last semester for me. I finished the card Saturday, and learned an important lesson when using these tiny little beads: design the entire card first. Why? Because you cannot do any burnishing of the cardstock with the beads, they are too fragile. Even though after I attach the beads I pour clear embossing powder over them and heat to further secure them, with the amount of activity I did attaching it to the other layers caused a number of them to fall off, and I since I couldn't burnish at all, I suspect the letter panels will separate and fall off if I try to give it to anyone. But, perhaps a liquid glue might have helped?
The letters can all be found HERE, as well as a number of letter blocks. The filagree square is located here. I have had so much fun with these! There are
