As many of you know I stitch a lot of Madam Chantilly patterns. This is one that I loved for Christmas - and I just spiced it up a little. I stitched the model on Belfast 32 Ct. Raw/Gold linen using DMC floss. Then I added blending figment colors BF100, BF032, BF091, BF022, BF015, and BF061 to some of the motifs . I used two ply of floss throughout, and added one play of the metallic so it would give it a little spice, but not overpowering. I added metallic floss to the lights the kitty is playing with, lights on the roof of the house, lights on the tree, bells on the Elf hat, saddle on the reindeer, Santa's fur, ribbons on the presents, and the ornaments hanging front the top. Hope you like my choices - our shop customers do.
