October Rudolph Day

It's time for another Rudolph Day and another cross stitch Christmas card (cross stitch is my RD theme this year).  This cute 'Skating Snowman' is from a design by Mouseloft.  I have stitched this design in 2022 and had enough threads (except for white) to stitch it again.  This time I used some aida that I received in a giveaway which is blue with white spots, making it perfect for a snowy background.


To make this card I used:
     4" x 4" white matt card blank
     Mouseloft 'Skating Snowman' cross stitch kit
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics'  & 'Inside & Out Stitched Square STAX Die-namics' dies
     Snippet of white matt card and pale blue aida

I used a snippet of white matt card to make a frame for the stitching, using the square die for the outer edge and the circle die for the aperture.  After completing the stitching I mounted the design behind the frame and attached it to the card.  

I am entering the following Challenges:
     Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
     Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
     Rudolph Day - October Challenge

    I love this fun snowman Kath, and I thought at first that was all cross stitch in the background but I see on closer inspection it is blue aida which makes a wonderful background. x
