Welcome to "The Girl's Gone Crafty!" blog about all things, well, crafty, of course! My name is Raquel, owner of Calico Craft Designs, and lover of all things Craft. I hope that you too will join me on my journey to finishing one more UFO (unfinished object), stitching for charity, and just learning more about the wonderful crafts available out there.

Two More Halloween Cards

Today I finished two more Halloween cross-stitch cards.  I think they turned out pretty well.  I'm particularly fond of the one with the ghost.  I played around with the colors and think the green worked out just fine.  The original pattern did not have any color behind it but since I was stitching on white evenweave fabric, I had to provide some type of background to make the ghost pop off of the fabric.

I think I'm going to stop with the five Halloween cards.  I'll probably start working on Christmas holiday cards soon.  I'm still looking for some really cute but small patterns.  The Halloween ones worked up pretty quickly so I feel like I'm making some progress.  Hence, why I have those WIPs and UFOs still sitting out there I guess!  LOL!
