.......when presented with tricky LIM challenges!! This week we have to create a clean and simple card with beads.
So rummage after rummage with no beads in sight, my daughter came to the rescue with these sweet pastel coloured beads which made me think of spring. Although we are very much still in the throws of a cold spell it was lovely to work with these light pastel colours.
I chose a Bashful Blue card base so it didn't become all smooshy smishy in the sentiment department. I punched a heart with the Full Heart Punch in Whisper White and strung up some beads behind it. I then added a Pink Pirouette square behind before popping the front panel up on Dimensionals. I made a banner to go behind with a computer generated sentiment as my beads look a little like an abacus I thought "You can count on me!" was appropriate.
Simples once you find some beads!!
Oooh I've just realised I've used no stamps so can squeeze this in under the wire at CASual Fridays and as the colours made me think of spring I'll pop it into Addicted to CAS which has a cue card of Spring.

I'm sorry I'm SO late in visiting, but this last week was another of those which simply got away from me before I knew where it had gone!
This is so clever and looks simply terrific!
