CHRISTMAS ANGEL


Very often I act before I think, and so it was with this card.

I have had this prick n stitch template for a very long time (received it at a workshop) and never used it.

I created the watercolour background (misting over a  paper doily) and though it would look good as a background for an angel card, so got out my template.  Then I decided I'd like to do some bead embroidery too.... 

a good few hours later, this is how far I got

 wwell, lots and lots of sequins and beads later, it was finished, and well worth the effort, I think.
