Go Green :)

As promised, more goodies from Crafting Hands!  Fran, one of our uber talented crafters, created these fantastic beaded bracelets. I'm hoping to get her to show me how these are made at the next Crafting Hands workshop.

I really enjoy how happy these bracelets look.  Don't you just love when a craft can make you smile?!?  This one in particular seemed very March/spring/St. Paddyish so I ran to my supplies to see what I could create! 

I thought the blues and greens of the background papers were an excellent play on the bracelet.  The overall effect is a little more subdued, maybe the rain outside had some influence on the final product too. :)  The base of the card is Memory Box that I stamped with Delightful Daisy in Olive Green StazOn ink.  I layered on with Amy Butler Faded China paper and then used a rub-on I had in my scraps.  I think it's also from Amy Butler, but let me know if that's wrong. :)

I guess then the bling could be subliminal raindrops (hee-hee). Well, we wouldn't get May flowers without April, a-hem March, showers.
