Phew!!

Hi all,

Today's card is for this week's 2S4U sketch, Dutch Dare Card Challenge (use felt) and also for the Quixotic challenge # 2 (too late for both).




There's some stitching on my little felt Gingerbread Man!! Applause please... why? coz Smita can't stitch... (words borrowed from a popular Bollywood song, "...coz Pappu can't dance..."). But I did manage an okay-ish blanket stitch, right? :-) Look at my little Gingerbread man closely ;-) And by the way, he is a dangling ornament.



And I finally made those oh-so-awesome 3D Christmas trees... sorry no snow on them coz I stay in a tropical country where it snows only in very few regions ;-) Well, I didn't find the Xmas tree punch at Hobby Ideas this time (they ran out of it :-( )... wish I hadn't postponed buying that one!! So I had to hand cut the trees...



The little star on top is actually a blob of Uhu glitter glue that I kind of spread using a toothpick...he he.

So that is that... Tell me what you think of the card. And do say that the stitching is awesome (doesn't hurt if a lie boosts somebody's morale, does it? ;-) )... LOL!

Cheers,
Smita

PS: My hands and neck are aching with so much stitching!! :-p
