Snowy
landscapes
Stitch six picture-perfect seasonal cards,
these circular greetings are ideal for winter
birthdays and all-occasion celebrations
E
ach charming chart in
this collection makes
for a relaxing and
quick-to-finish stitch – and
they’d be perfect for all levels of
stitchers, for so many different
occasions. Stitch to celebrate a
winter birthday or anniversary,
a thank you, or even just to let a
loved one know you’re thinking
of them. Worked in a soft
palette of frosty colours, you’ll
achieve the painterly effect of
these landscapes using mainly
whole cross stitches, some in
two strands, some in one, for
a real sense of 3D depth, then
a little backstitch to bring out
the details. Each fits neatly in
a circular aperture card blank
too, excellently colour matched
for a perfect finish. Stitch them
for your stash, ready to have to
hand to send to loved ones.
