Pilin' on the Beaded Sequins

The theme this week at Pile It On is Sequins and/or Beads. We're sponsored by Paper Sweeties, a fun stamp & embellishment company. To help celebrate their third year in business, I made a birthday card featuring some of their lovely seam binding.

The teapot stack die is from Memory Box, and I created the background for it by embossing a thick, textured white paper, fussy-cutting it, and coloring it with Copic markers. The die cut itself is a shiny off-white cardstock.The doily/burlap-patterned paper is from Recollections, and I slightly distressed the edges to give it a more fabric-like feel. The sentiment are plastic embellishments that I heat-embossed with a glittery white powder. Each green, flower-shaped sequin has a pink or baby blue seed bead in the middle.
