Paper beads - my way :)

I find watching Cool2Craft and other live shows very inspiring.  I decided to try my hand at making beads.  I started with glossy card stock, similar to photo paper, and used my Cuttlebug  to emboss the paper.  I used the edge embossers because they are small in width.

Supplies used

I cut out the embossed strip and inked it, emphasizing the embossed image.

Once it was dry I used Gloss Gel Medium to apply one coat.

I then applied 2 coats of Gloss varnish.

I have made 5 more beads and I can't decide how I want to string them yet.

For now I can only be proud of the one I am displaying; inspired by the creative people I choose to 'hang' with. :)
