Use Beads

This week the site "Less is More"  gave the challenge to use beads, here is my creation;

When I first saw this challenge I thought " now that really IS a challenge!"   How do you put a bead on a card, besides using glue?  Now I realize I COULD use glue, but I didn't want to.  I spotted some stamps I recently purchased from Michaels, a Seven Gypsies collection that contained several different numbers sets and knew I wanted to work with them. After stamping the cute numbers I played off the numbers idea by attaching wires to the card, 9 of them. I bent  the wire to create a hook of sorts on both ends that looped around the card.  I strung seed beads on each wire, 1, then 2, then 3, etc etc,  then I taped the ends on the back side.  I mounted the bead card onto playful polka dot paper, went to the computer and typed out the sentiment and then cut and pasted it...Voila!

I love the way it turned out!  

I will be entering this into the following challenges;
