There is a lady on Facebook called Durene Jones and every Friday she has a free cross stitch chart. I have a few of these and thought it would be fun to sew this reindeer on perforated paper and use it on my Mum's Christmas card. I gave it to her yesterday so can share it on here now as she looks at my blog every morning. I am really happy with how it turned out.
I used some embossed card cut into hills and used glitter card for the diecut tree and layered snowflakes which are from MFT. I kept the design quite simple with not too much colour to show off the reindeer. If you saw my cross stitch snowflake the other day then you will have noticed that was sewn on perforated paper. The trickiest part is the fussy cutting.
I am definitely going to try a few more cards like this next year, I have several cross stitch magazines so will be looking through them for more patterns.
