I was intrigued by the texture in the monogram of Aga's card and searched my craft room for something different to my normal media. I found some micro beads stashed away that hadn't seen the light of day since I started crafting! Here's my take on Aga's card:
I die cut the 21 from white card and laid on top of another piece of white card that I had covered in scortape. Then it was a case of trying to get those micro beads to behave themselves! They go everywhere and are totally uncontrollable! Eventually I managed to tame a few to stick within the 21 die cuts :)
Next up I tried something a little more traditional and applied glitter to the die cut negative.
Both these cards were fun if a little messy to make LOL!
