Hello friends !! I have another project to share with you today and I so loved the way this one turned out. The little lady in the photos is my little Pekingese Miss Molly. Here is a close-up of the flowers I made using Vicky Alberto’s tutorial for her “Versatile Flowers”. They are so cute and easy to make. Thank you Vicky!
And here is a close-up of the little beaded flowers I made and there is a tutorial for you if you would like to give them a try. I call them my “Beaded delphiniums” They look cute if you make them in blue because then they really do look like Delphiniums at a glance. I also know that Delphiniums do not hang down, they actually stand up straight but in the scrapping world anything is possible right? The little white fern you see peeking out there is punched and then I just used the negative as a mask and sponged some gesso on it.
I used papers from the bautiful Vintage Summer Basics Collection:

Vintage Summer Basics – 1922

Vintage Summer Basics – 1904 BS

Vintage Summer Basics – 1933 BS
For inspiartion I used a sketch from Scrap Friends.
The big leafy fern is a chippie from Imaginarium Designs and again I just sponged some gesso on it.
Here is the promised tutorial if you would like to give it a try.

Materials needed:
Wire
Florists tape
Glue Gun
Wire Cutter
Seed beads in the colour of your choice
Step 1.
Cut a few pieces of wire in different lengths.
Step 2.
You now have to work relatively fast as hot glue dries very quickly. Heat up the glue gun. Take one strand of wire and adhere hot glue to one end of the strand. It looks very “blobby”, but don’t worry about that. I covered about 3.5cm with hot glue.
Step 3.
While the glue is still hot, dip it into your little bowl of seed beads and twirl it around so the beads can cover all the glue.
Step 4.
Whilst the glue is still warm, press the beads firmly into the glue using your fingers. If you find that not all the spots are covered, you can always just add an extra little bit of glue on those spots and then dip it back into the bowl of beads.
Step 5.
Gently remove any excess loose beads and this is what it should look like when it’s nicely covered.
Step 6.
Now you can take a strip of florists tape and start winding it around the wire starting close up against the beads, working your way down.
And this what they look like when they are all finished and ready to “prettify” your page. I hope you like them as much as I do!
And that my sweet friends, is all from me today. I have the flu, so I’m going straight back to bed and no doubt Miss Molly is going to join me! LOL! Till next week…happy scrapping!x
