Now....
this sweet HO HO HO South Carolina Ornament has got to be my FAVORITE so far!
Well...Maybe as of TODAY...anyway!
Tomorrow is another Day!
This time I couldn't pass up using this Beautiful South Carolina State Ho Ho Ho Applique Design from Embroidery Boutique.
This Super Cute design stitched like a dream and using the 4X4 size was just PERFECT for a Christmas Ornament Mount.
Once again...I stitched it on a piece of 25 count White Opalescent Lugana Cross Stitch Fabric
with a piece of Warm and White 100% Cotton Batting on the backside.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Sparkly fabric...
it shimmers so nicely for ornaments!
I then mounted the stitched pieced (and batting) onto a piece of Sticky Board...
and then covered a second piece of Sticky Board with a Christmas Plaid fabric that
closely matches the color threads I used to stitched the actual design itself.
I also used a Sparkly Silver and White cording around the paremeter of the actual first layer where the design is stitched onto...
I just Love the BLING it adds to the Ornament itself!
How about YOU?
