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:

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!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
