Christmas Card

Hi,
The year is racing by and all the lovely Christmas decorations are appearing in the shops and online. I love the glitter, shine and sparkle around. I was asked to draw a second Christmas card for the local church. I had drawn a card last year showing the church surrounded by Christmas flowers and foliage. The design worked well and became the basis for the embroidery shown in the previous post. The card has the Christmas services printed inside and looked lovely. This year I took inspiration from the Christmas bauble. I wanted to incorporate the image of the church in the drawing so I drew the church onto

the bauble. The church had to be slightly curved to look as if it was on a round surface. I was very pleased with the final card.

 I have also made an advent calendar. This is a lovely design with Santa and his elves. The calendar is for sale in my Etsy BrushesAndBodkins shop.
