I still love doing it, but don't tend to do it as often these days. However, I still have lots of lovely threads in my boxes, so decided to drag them out, grab a needle and start stitching.
The template I used has embossing and stitching detail, so I chose a colour from the topper I'd put together and tried to coordinate it as best as I could.
I kept the design quite simple, and just used a stamped bow for detail.
The sentiment is one I've had in my craft room for around a year, and not really used it. It's actually really nice but a wee bit small.
And here is the stitching and embossing in a little more detail.
Today, I'm going to get cracking on making some more Christmas cards... orders to finish and all that.. lol.
So.. happy crafting until next time!!
I came into card making through cross stitch too but I don't do much of it these days. Gorgeous card, I love the stitched topper, so pretty. :) x
