Card Embellishing

Some of the most enjoyable hours I spend in the studio are when I search through my own collections for the perfect embellishment for a card series I am working on. I have been really using a lot of different charms, buttons, jewelry components and fibers in these new cards.

Have a wonderful Sunday friends. Here are my bead blogger links for the week.
