Cross Stitch ATC #3 - Autumn

I think the thing I love most about this time of year in the northern hemisphere are the colours. When the sun still shines, but the leaves are turning, you are met with the spectacular combination of reds, yellows, golds and oranges against the blue of the sky. So this ATC will be inspired be autumn.

For this swap, you will send 1 ATC to 1 partner. Cross-stitch ATCs are really easy to make as your stitched design has to be small enough to fit on a standard sized ATC (2.5 in x 3.5 in).

You can find many free patterns for small motifs on the internet. You can interpret the theme as broadly as you like. It can be something which symbolises autumn for you - leaves, a bonfire, a pair of mittens. Or it can be an ATC which is dominated by autumn colours. Or if you have some other idea, then be as creative as you like. Make sure you write the theme on the back though, along with your name and username.

Your design doesn't need to fit the whole ATC. Try to set your stitching off by using papers and embellishments. Ensure that your ATC is something that you would be happy to receive.

Use a sturdy backing for the ATC, and keep it to the standard ATC size.

I will angel for the swap if necessary. Minimum rating 4.97 with no recent unexplained 1s or 3s.
