it's a snowman stitch-up!
I made this for the winter themed 4x4 swap taking place on gingersnap creations, and tied it in with my DT piece for the stitching theme on gingersnap too. It also fits with this week's created by hand challenge: snowmen.
The stamp is Chilly by Jo CapperSandon from Stampotique, available from Happy Daze. I have embossed tracing paper (not vellum, cheap tracing paper) with a snowflake design, and stitched it to the main piece, before sewing up the final edge I popped in some loose white flower soft in to create a shaker effect.
unfortunately it really doesn't photograph well. these are much nicer in real life.
awwwwwwwwww look at 'im awwwwww...out in the cold. What a fabulous effect! Great take/twist on the shaker style card.
