Note: This Beaded Background technique works well to soften
bright colored papers. See above. The left side is patterned
paper. The right side is the same paper with micro beads added.
Directions:
Fold Black Cardstock creating a
5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card. Cut purple cardstock slightly smaller (5 1/4
x 4 1/8 ) Distress purple cardstock to create a worn look using
a distress tool or sandpaper. Layer onto card.
Cut patterned paper, transparency
and sticky sheet to approx. 3 3/4 x 5.
Place sticky sheet onto
patterned paper. Peel back and add clear beads to cover
everything except a small portion of the bottom. Cover that area
in black beads.
Stamp on the transparency and
emboss. Attach beaded pattern paper and transparency sheet with
black brads. Layer onto a piece of black cardstock. Attach to
card front. In some areas I used a dab of glue under images to
hold transparency in place.
Stamp some of the designs again on
regular cardstock. Emboss, cut out, color and layer with 3D tape
on top of transparency.
Shrink a witch or another design on clear shrink plastic. Cut
out and adhere to sky area.
