Teal and Brown

I have had these really pretty teal and brown flower beads for awhile.

I have also had brown wooden flower charms for awhile.

I loved both of these, but could never figure out what to make with them.

Then I realized, I should put them together!

I loved how they turned out!

I used beading wire to make these earrings.

I strung the wooden cross charms onto the middle of the wire.

I pulled both sides of the wire together to thread the teal pearl like bead

onto both strands at once.

I then separated the two ends, stringing teal seed beads onto each strand.

I brought the stands back together to string the flower on.

Separating the strands again, I strung more teal seed beads.

I brought the strands back together one last time to add one more teal pearl like bead.

I used a wire crimp to finish the earrings off and hook onto fishhook earring backs.

Earrings such as these are available in my shop

Anything Goes January Challenge

This month over at Scraptastical Kreations, they are doing an Anything Goes challenge.

The project is your choice, you just have to include one of their patterns in your project!

I have been working on Valentine's projects today, so I browsed through

the Scraptastical Kreations patterns that I had.

I settled on a flower from there "Garden Splendor" collection.

I chose this flower because the petals looked like hearts!

I started out with an ATC card that I covered in pink heart patterned scrapbook paper.

Then I (hand) cut the flower from "Garden Splendor".

I did one layer in hot pink cardstock and the second layer in

scrapbook paper with the sentiment "I love you".

I adhered pink ribbon with pink hearts running vertically on the ATC card.

I then used 3D dots to adhere the flower with dimension.

I then attached a pink rhinestone heart to the center of the card.

I covered the card a different pink heart patterned scrapbook paper.

I adhered pink glitter table horizontally on the card.

I then glued the ATC card onto another piece of the "I love you"

sentiment paper and then glued it onto the card.

I used pink chipboard stickers to decorate the corners.
