This week’s card is called Bead Flowers and was made by Suemcmanus. This classy card was made using the Stitching Cards Bead Flower 9 pattern.

The concept of using green and gold thread with green and gold beads on a green background gives the card a sophisticated look. The gold “Best Wishes” greeting does not show well on the picture because it is picking up some of the background colour. However, I am sure it does show well on the actual card.
