Cindy, you've inspired me to get started early with Christmas cards. Before I dug out the gingerbread men, my thoughts for a card went in the direction of paper embroidery. Then a little voice came into my brain and said "hey, what about your gingerbread men stamps" So off I went to dig them out.
But this card just had to be completed. So I will be tickling another Teapotter with this card too!
Paper embroidery pattern is by Erica Fortgens. The punch is EK Success.

How lovely - we haven't seen your embroidery for a while, but it makes the most elegant and stylish decoration. When I see this it reminds me of the amount of time I spent doodling parabolic curves in maths class .

Wow, this paper embroidery is amazing. I love it! How intricate and beautiful. That must be a lot of work. My friend has been trying to get me to delve into it-but I have been shying away. This is gorgeous.
