I stitched this card for the Christmas Kickstart 'Let's Wreath It Up' challenge using a kit that had been a magazine cover gift.

To make this card I used:
5" x 5" white linen card blank
Debra Page 'Happy Christmas' cross stitch kit (from Cross Stitch Card Shop magazine)
White DMC thread
My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
Snippet of white linen card
I stitched the wreath using the chart in the kit. The white flowers should have been left unstitched, but I used some oddments of white thread to fill in the flowers . It took a bit longer to finish the design but I thought it looked better. I trimmed a snippet of white linen card so it was slightly small than the card blank and die cut a stitched circle from the centre. The fabric was attached to the back of the aperture and the panel was then attached to the card blank.
I am entering the following challenges:
Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
Beautiful Blossoms - Anything Floral Goes
Christmas Kickstart Challenge - Let's Wreath It Up
Little Red Wagon - Circle of Life
Try It On Tuesday - Going Round in Circles (I have used a circle aperture and wreath)

Very pretty! xxx
This is beautiful Kath and you must stitch quite fast...I'm sure it would have taken me longer than the time this challenge was open to get this done. x
Your cross-stitch card looks fabulous!! It's so pretty!
