I'm so excited to share with you a little notebook that I created using the pears from my newest set for Ginak Designs called "Fruitful Harvest". This was an idea that popped into my head while I was setting the dinner table. Yes, we set the dinner table with a tablecloth and silverware. I have a centerpiece that has some really pretty beaded fruit in it. And I thought, "Why not make my stamped images beaded!"
To create the beaded look use Alene's Tacky glue and a small brush. Brush the glue on top of the colored images. Pour clear micro beads on top of the glue. Press down with fingers.
Copic Markers: Y0000,Y00, YR20, YR02,YG03, G07, E35
For even more inspiration with the Fruitful Harvest stamp set, head over to to my dear friend Deb Felts . She's sharing a beautiful card with us tonight too! Then, take the time to check out all the other GinaK Design Team Member's sharing projects tonight on their blogs:
