SSD-WTC01 Glittering Heart

1 7/8” w by 13/4” h - 27 stitches w by 24stitches h

Cross-stitch design (“Glittering Heart”)
is a heart using sparkling braid to make it glitter,
a back-stitched edge to look like it is lace trimmed,
and it is embellished with Mill Hill antique beads
to make it extravagant and special.

The image is on a pre-finished oval
ready to be finished to be decorative on both sides
(with detailed finishing instructions provided)
and hung as a decoration
after a ribbon is laced through
the lace edge of the medallion.
The ribbon provides a unique accent to the motif.

While the design may be stitched
onto the pre-finished oval and used as an ornament,
it may also be stitched onto a small piece of fabric,
or by using waste canvas,
it can be applied to fabric or apparel.
