Bittersweet and Broomsticks

Good morning!
***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****
This is Bittersweet and broomsticks from With Thy Needle and Thread ..I stitched it on blue rit dyed .. then coffee tea dyed 28 count evenweave ..I used all Classic Colorworks  in the colors Black Coffee.. Blackbird.. Pumpkin Harvest .. Ye old Gold.. Fallen Leaves .. Colonial Copper.. Eggshell..Pea Pod
I found the door at Joann Fabrics.. The wreath was already on the door but I added the ribbons .. the tag .. and the ghost ..I also added the flat bow beneath the wreath .. I mounted the stitching on sticky board with 2 layers of batting .. I then mounted orange check homespun on sticky board .. I added a ruffle of torn black check to each side of the stitching then glued it to the orange checks ..
Calvin was extremely mad there wasn't a cat on this piece so he tried to take my Pumpkin Harvest floss .. then he decided to wear the Pumpkin Harvest floss :) I love the way this turned out and can't wait to hang it up!

Beautiful stitching Priscilla, and beautiful finish! You have such a creative eye!! I just started my Sunflower Manor last night: phew! Stitching on black!!! I'm doing it more by feel than by sight!! :D And Calvin is saying "Why do I tolerate all this foolishness?!!!" :-) The weekend is close: have a great one!!! Hugs, H
