CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs

These small Cross stitch motifs will easily fit into the aperture of a greeting card.

The designs are stylised, with the characters rendered in simple outlines filled with solid colors, focusing on the essential. Details and ornementation have been kept to the minimum.

The focus of each card is on the harmony of colors, soft blues for Mary and child, deep rich purples and reds for the wise men. All motifs are richly adorned with metallic highlights and frame, reinforcing the festive tone.

Patterns includes a couple of fractional stitches for detail. A tutorial is included with the chart for all stitches.
