9.  Above the bib necklace on each side, I hand-stitched large white shell pearls, large resin black beads with white hearts, and the flamework playing card beads with 6/0 seed beads and round red crystals. And finished with a gold-filled hook & eye clasp.

8.  On the bottom of the bib necklace, I hand-stitched round red crystals, a playing card bead, and three brass charms; a teacup, a teapot, and Rabbit.

7. Once your ultra-suede has dried, then you can start sewing (I use brick stitch) the front foundation to the ultra-suede backing. I have the right side done in this pic but still need to sew the left side. I sew all the way around.

5. Once I had all the seed beads sewn, I glued a extra thick layer of interfacing between my beaded foundation and the backing. This adds more stability for the heavy cabochons.

One other thing. I use a layer of interfacing to lay my beadwork on while working. This helps prevent your cabochons from being all scratched up. It also helps to wash your hands before you start working

6. Once the interfacing was dry, I cut out and glued down the light blue ultra-suede backing. Ultra-suede is super soft and will comfortable next to your clothing and skin. For 5 & 6, you want to use a white tacky glue, like Aleene's Original Tacky Glue as it's an all-purpose glue.

4. I started stitched rounds of seed beads around the cabochons. And stitched the Off With Her Head.

2. Then I hand-stitched The Queen of Hearts.

3. Using E-6000, glue down your cabochons.

Our Etsy Bead Embroidery Guild is underway with our third Bead Fest which is due by June 30th. The theme is "Fairytales, Folklore, and Fantasy". So all these weeks I've been working diligently to complete my entry which I finished yesterday. So I thought I'd put some photograph's of my entry on my blog and the steps that I took to complete. I apologize that some of the pics are fussy. They looked good to me on my digital screen but once I downloaded them and saw them on my computer screen, I realized they're not to my satisfaction. - First you need to put your idea's down on a paper template.
