Christmas Angel

Before I put my quilling things away I thought I'd make this little angel which of course had to be turned into a seasonal card.  Backing paper is from my stash, the ornate oval was cut using a Sizzix die, the white oval  embossed using Cuttlebug Swiss dots.  Marianne dies were used for the poinsettia.  This card ceretainly qualifies for Judith's Forgotten Friday challenge in one respect because I dug out a box of peel-offs to find one suitable as a chain for the bauble (Stampin' Up punch shape).  When I think back at just how I used to use peel-offs pretty well all the time and now I can't really remember when I last even looked at them and believe me I have a vast collection!!

    I too have a vast collection of those peel-offs which are buried in the back of a cupboard & rarely see the light of day. I love that little angel & the way she hangs so delicately on your dark blue bauble. Lovely combination of colours.

    This is gorgeous Val - she looks so pretty dangling on the ornament. Like you I have boxes upon boxes of peel-offs - isn't it strange to think we all used to use them all the time, whether for a border, corner or sentiment - and it really wasn't that long ago......how times change eh? We will be doing Zentangle with the girls at club soon and we're actually thinking about using peel-offs for them to tangle in!!! How about that for something different to do with them...........over to you!!! lol

    Your Angel is gorgeous Val, and looks lovely on the bauble. I too have a large stash of peel offs that never see the light of day. Maybe someone should set up a challenge to use peel offs LOL.

    Hi Val, love your little quilled angel. I always like the look of quilling, but haven't tried my hand.......as yet! I used to use peel offs a lot when I started out as well, my Mum taught me how to make cards, and that's what she used. I had a shoe box full! I have given them all away, and I honestly don't think I have any now. I am trying to work through my huge stash of flat backed gems though!
    This is a lovely card, really great colours. Thanks so much for joining in my Forgotten Friday post this week, Judith xx
