A lovely point ground snowflake mounted ingeniously on a printed card.  She had taken a card with a motive of about the same size and then mounted the lace motif over the printed motif.  She then tied the points of the motif to the card with tiny thread bows on the inside of the card. It will make me look more critically to other printed Christmas cards!   Once the card is on Jenny Brandis' website, you will all be able to enjoy my card as well as I will be enjoying it for many years to come.  I hang the lace cards on my Christmas tree and the collection is slowly growing

Two pieces of lace, one called Bows and Bridges by Christine Springett.  I used CP 8 in gold/yellow and white. The stocking is by Ann Bray but I resized it slightly to fit the window and the fireplace picture.  For this I used fil a dentelle in Red and Green
