What lovely cards everyone has done. My card to Nia arrived in time for Christmas, but unfortunately the postie has been a bit slow coming to Australia from Portugal - even though Nia posted a couple of days before I did! Never mind I'm sure it will be in the post office this week :o)
So I have seen the photo of the beautiful card that Nia has sent me, but as yet you haven't seen what I sent Nia as she wasn't going to open it until Christmas Day. Hopefully Nia has opened her envelope as I am now going to do the big reveal!!
I found my design in the "Best of Margaret Sherry" bookazine and then did a 3D image to complement the stitching. Actually the truth be known I saw the image first that I wanted to do as a 3D card and then looked in the book for a matching design. The 3D image came from the Margaret Sherry "Snow much Fun" CD that was a freebie with a craft magazine. (I only bought the magazine for the CD!!)
Both images were then layered onto a Christmas candy stripe paper and placed onto a gold card which I had already covered with a vintage Christmas paper. The label also came from the CD collection. The final step was to add some lovely shiny red rub-ons which I put in the bottom corner.

Nia, thank you so much for organising the Christmas Exchange. I hope that we do it again next year!
Thank you everyone for sharing all your beautiful stitching over the year. I look forward to seeing what everyone stitches from the great Margaret Sherry designs in 2012.
Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year
