I've used a saucy Kenny K image called Mistletoe and added a typed sentiment which I think goes well with the image. It's been a while since I made an easel card too, so I've cut out a scalloped circle with a Go Kreate die, and used a red colour scheme.
One of my 2013 New Year Resolutions was to include stitching on my cards, but I think I need to have a 'get out clause' when I'm using fancy shapes, and in that category I would include circles. My sewing machine does not have a speed control setting, so it's either stopped, or at full pelt, which makes navigating around shapes really difficult. I could use the hand turning control thingy, but I'm too impatient and my foot finds the pedal too easily!!! There were only a couple of wobbles, but they're all I can see when I look at the finished project!!! My old machine had a speed setting so I could slow it right down. I didn't think of it when I got my new machine last summer, but I miss it now I've not got it!! LOL
Anyway, hope you like my card, and I look forward to seeing your Christmas creations on the CRAFT challenge blog.
