Another Freebie! An ATC done in cross stitch

It has been over a month since my last posting. In this time, I have completed a fair bit of stitching on my Zodiac chart and have begun stitching my HAED QS Oliana Otter. I hope to have pictures up soon. Also, recently I participated in an ATC exchange. The exchange inspired me to design an artistic trading card of my own. Below are the pictures and download link. I call this card, "Nostalgia". It is designed to be stitched on 20 count off-white or beige fabric. This design could potentially be made to pop more if back stitching is used, but I leave that up to the stitcher to decide if they want more definition. I personally like it as is.

The other side of the Biscornu

Here's the other side of the Biscornu that I posted earlier.


My first Biscornu!

It has been over a week since I've last posted. I have made some progress on my Zodiac chart, having worked a lot of the cross stitches in pale yellow and some of the back-stitching in old gold. I have also completed Pisces and Aries, and am now working on filling out their backgrounds in dark violet. I will put up a photo once that is completed.
I have recently tried designing my own Biscornu using the free chart making software KG-Chart. Thus far I have no complaints with the program. I have designed the front and back of a miniature Blackwork Biscornu for an exchange I am participating in. As the designs are meant to be kept secret until the exchange has been completed, I will not post the pictures for that right now. I would however like to share another "Hearts" Biscornu that I have designed. If anyone out there uses this pattern, could you please email me a picture of the stitched Biscornu? I would be very much obliged.
