Yesterday we visited my Mum and went out for a lovely Christmas lunch. Next time we see her will be Christmas Day so we exchanged Christmas cards. I recently bought the new snowman patterns from Catkin and Lillie's Etsy shop and just had to sew one of them for Mum's card. I remembered I have some red material and thought it would be much better for showing off the snowman. As I started to stitch it I realised it is 16 count rather than 14 count so he came out a bit smaller than the pattern. It was also slightly more challenging to sew that size.
I used a MFT scalloped frame, old LOTV papers, ribbon from stash snowflake banner from The Works and Marianne and Joy tree dies with some embossed card.
