That was a kit. I have a really good craft knife, but it doesn't leave that smooth of an edge 😊Soontobeoap said:I meant to ask before @emsi_b How do you get your embroidery to show through a card with cut outs? Are you really good with a craft knife? It is a beautiful Christmas card
I have almost finished Peter Rabbit, and am disappointed. The colours in the kit are all wrong. Brown Peter rabbit is orange and yellow. The pattern is good, so I will hunt out some alternative browns from my shoebox of threads for the others. I suspect that all of the "browns" in this kit will be off, so will carefully study the patterns before making them in case I need to sub some colours. It does use up some of the oddments I've acquired, but I will be left with some other ones to use up. I have got a daffodil pattern that could use at least one of them!

Went to a water colour art class today. Learned a lot on three hours. Hope I remember it. A bit disappointed that I didn't finish it but my problem now is So I go out and buy some water colours to keep up the practice or plod on with using up everything that I already have? 🤔

15 more cards made today. That seems to be my average! 🤣. No one is going to give me a job in a card factory! Anyway a mix of decorating up old Christmas cards with extra cut outs added and starting some from scratch. Have enjoyed my day but going away for weekend so putting everything away for next week so that I can do some housework! Still have so many donated old Christmas cards and lots of card blanks. It is absolutely unbelievable how much stuff I have.
Might need a top up on background papers soon.
