A wreath with hearts

The Paperartsy challenge is asking for hearts. I went through my stash, wondering what hearts I happen to have, and decided to use some small heart shaped beads. I am also posting for the Craft Stamper January challenge (Take a Stamp) and the Stamplorations CAS challenge (I'd call this clean, and weather fussy cutting is simple depends on who is cutting ;). I haven't yet tried to crunch this into an envelope...

When these stamps were launched, I loved an example card where this shrub had been fussy cut and built into a wreath. I've been burning to try it out, and now I at last have the stamps (ESN17)... as can be seen, the set doesn't limit itself to Christmas! I stamped the branch six times, coloured with Inktense pencils and water and spent a lovely time fussy cutting all of them. The mean part was trying to get them arranged in an even circle. It became a bit oval, but that's ok :) I twirled some thread in between the leaves and glued the pearls with Glossy Accents.
