After perusing Barb's galley I found that I finally had the chance to use Cross-Stitched Christmas! Unfortunately, Barb used lyrics from songs for several of the card titles that I just happened to know, and the rest is history. (The ink is black, the page is white). Back on track, Barb's A Sketchy Christmas was the card I cased. )(Repeat the Sounding Joy.) I kept the card horizontal, used pine trees, and close to the same colors. (So Happy Together.)
And a few more: Someone's in the Kitchen, Yesterday, Baby Love, Bye-Bye Blackbird, and my favorite... Mele Kalikemaka! Not to mention lots of other Christmas Carols.

This is the first card I've seen made with that stamp set and it's just lovely! It looks like the trees and greeting are actually stitched. Inking some of the x's in red on the trees has a wonderful impact!

This came out very well! I love the way the image and sentiment look stitched, and it is a beautiful card. Super well done case. Hugz
