Ed074 X-mas BaublesCompleted by Margaret Swaby

I just love this card! I enjoyed stitching it and I love the finished card.

I wanted to stitch it on an A5 card instead of the 8 x 8 square card that it is intended for and I found that I was able to and only lose a tiny bit of the stitching which didnt show.

So, I pricked it out onto a piece of card which was slightly smaller than A5. I stitched the design using metallic threads to give it some Christmas glitz and then cheated a little by using tiny dots of clear silicone glue to stick the beads on.

I ran a gold ink pad around the edges of the piece of card and then used DS tape to stick it onto the A5 card blank.

A gorgeous card and congratulations go to the designer.
