Twist And Sprout Christmas Card

A guinea pig in a Santa hat, perched on a pile of Brussels sprouts, with the pun 'Twist and Sprout' worked in gold thread: a Hannah Dale design stitched in counted cross stitch on Aida that comes printed with a speckled background, so the snowy effect is there without stitching the sky.

The finished piece mounts into the triple fold card, which closes with the Velcro supplied, and goes out in the envelope provided: threads, needle, card and envelope are all in the pack, so you only need scissors and, if you like to keep the fabric taut, a small hoop. It is a quick project for a few evenings, and the recipient can take it out and frame it.
