America sent the whole DT a goody bag of things to use for the challenge !! How very kind of her eh !! Thanks America xx
I have just bought this fab House Mouse Java Jumpers stamp ,,, and just HAD to use it ! I knew I had seen coffee bean jewellery in my local store but unfortunately it was gold ( too expensive) and had already been sold ,,, so I had to put my thinking cap on !!
In the bag of goodies that America has sent there was a fab silver circle, I stuck a coffee bean onto that using E6000 glue ( THE best glue EVER ,, that bean isn’t going to fall off !!! ) I then found the leather jewellery whatchamacallems in my jewellery box ,,,, brill ,,, necklace made !! This is fastened onto the card with a simple bow so can be removed easily. Then I made a pair of earrings using a little pair of old studs ,, I just stuck coffee beans on those ,, using the same glue and made a little box to pop them in, did you notice the little silver circles on the top of the box/ ,, these match the circle on the necklace and were in America’s goody bag All of the beans were coated with glossy Accents , I covered some extra ones too and used these as extra embellies . I used SU Chocolate Chip and Ivory card and Basic Grey papers from the Kraft paper pad and the sentiment was printed on my comp.
