A Merry Little Christmas

Good morning!

This is A Merry Little Christmas.. another new release that will ship to shops November 3 ..

lets get into all the details!

I stitched the design on 28 count Monaco that I dyed with Rit dye in the color Evening Blue. I then coffee tea dyed it very lightly for more mottling .. I mounted the stitching and also our red check Priscilla's Pretty Plaids on sticky board .. I used Lori Holt vintage trim in Cloud on top of the fabric covered sticky board ,, I glued the 2 pieces together and glued them to the planked sign .. Chelsea popped;) the Santa off the other sign and I glued him on the board .. I added a couple small pieces of sticky board stacked together to raise him off the planked sign ..I added a covered button and greenery to his hat for some dimension .. super easy finish with amazing results !
