Santa's Legs

I made a Halloween card HERE with stitched witch's legs. Brenda left a comment to say that with a change of colour and could be Santa's legs.  Di agreed with Brenda and challenged me to make a Santa pair of legs.  Not one to turn down a challenge, I adapted the design to make Santa's trousers and his big, heavy boots and here is the result.

I used a MFT 'Cross-Stitch Tag Die-namics' die and chopped off the tag part to make a rectangle.  The design was stitched with crochet cotton.  All the patterned paper was from a 12 x 12 paper pad from the The Works, 'I'll be Gonk for Christmas'.  I chose papers that I'd already used so I could just use snippets of patterned paper and join in the Snippets Playground Challenge.  

So there you go Di, challenge accepted and completed.

I am joining in the following challenges:
Beccy's Month of Holiday Cards Challenge ~ B for Boots + Black  (playing catch up with letters I've missed)

  6. You did a great job altering the witch pattern Liz, Santa looks fabulous! Your stitching is lovely and neat... I would be very tempted to remove the stitching to use as an ornament. So fabulous!
    Cheers,
