My PWA Blog Hop Microbead Project

Beaded Faux Cloisonne Card

Beaded Faux Cloisonne Card 2


Beaded Faux Cloisonne

Materials:
Digital Flower Stamp (See Blog Candy below)
O’So Sticky Tape Sheets [Pennywise Arts]
Micro beads [Pennywise Arts]
Scissors
Liquid Pearls
Cardstock
Photo Corner Punch
Paper Leaves
3 Pieces of wire (approx. 3″ ea.)
Decorative Flower
Flat Back Rhinestones
Thick, clear fast drying glue
Diamond Glaze

Instructions:

1. Stamp the flower image onto card stock.

2. Cover the top of the image with O’So Sticky Tape.

3. Cut out the image and adhere it to a different piece cardstock.

4. Trace the stamp design on the protective sheet of the O’So Sticky paper. You will use the sheet later as a mask.

5. Remove the O’So Sticky Tape protective sheet and apply Liquid Pearls directly on the exposed O’So Sticky Tape, following the stamped image lines. Let dry.

6. After the Liquid Pearls have dried, put the mask back in place. You may have to cut the mask or fold some areas so it will fit. Start pouring your micro beads where ever you want them, onto the exposed areas of tape.

7. Remove the mask completely and sprinkle on the beads to shade some areas of the design.

8. Pour the micro beads all over the exposed tape to finish covering the image.

9. Coat the entire beaded image with Diamond Glaze and let dry.

10. Layer the image on coordinating cardstock.

11. Mount the layered image onto a card and embellish as desired. I chose to make “Micro bead Catttails”. Dip a few pieces of wire into a thick, fast drying glue. Then dip them into micro beads. Set aside to dry.

I also used flat backed rhinestones, a large photo corner, 3 leaves, and an acrylic flower to accent my design.
