I've dug out some Wee gems

We're half way through the Kept Sage challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge and I've made a little card using something that I've 'kept safe' since 2005.  They are the little gems in the top left corner of my card, from some hair accessories that I wore on my wedding day.  They came in a set of 6 from Claire's Accessories and you twist the wire spirals into your hair so that only the gems show and sparkle through.  I've kept them in a little tin, meaning to use them for something.  And now finally I have.

I snipped off the wires as they were a bit grubby, and then glued the stone settings onto my card using some Glossy Accents.  They stand quite proud from the card, but then so do the roses and the image is raised on foam pads so really they don't stick out more than anything else.

I think it kind of looks like the girlie in the image is looking up towards them.

Here is what they looked like before:
