Christmas card number 3


I had been doing well this month with a project every day but I didn't have anything to share yesterday. This snowy weather we are having made me feel like making a Christmas card and this cross stitched penguin has been sitting waiting to be made into a card. The pattern is from Durenee Jones.  I used some free magazine papers cutting an aperture into the top paper. I used a Joy snowflake die, Christmas tree dies and a LOTV sentiment.

Sunday and Monday were so cold here with an icy wind but yesterday wasn't so cold so we managed to get out for a lovely walk. A good chance to wear my snow boots I bought 3 years ago after we had the last bad snow. Since then we haven't had enough snow to warrant wearing them until now. It does look pretty out there and as long as it isn't icy underfoot I enjoy a snowy walk.

Your cross stitch panels make such a pretty and unusual card Marianne.

Early in the first lockdown I ordered a couple of cross stitch kits per cards, it was ambitious as too small for me to see properly. I'm not sure where I stored them but when I find them will let you know and send.

Such a wonderful card! I don't have the patience to do counted cross stitch, so kudos to you for not only doing that, but making it into a card!
