The Stitching Die of the Month for October is this gorgeous "Merry & Bright Cloche". It can be found only in the Spellbinders Store, click HERE.
I stitched the tree with green DMC Pearl Cotton Floss. This floss is a bit different than traditional floss, you can't divide it. It's twisted together and for this long straight stitch. It's a neater look than regular floss that separates into fewer strands. I purchased this from Michaels.
For the "shell" design on the bottom of the cloche, I used traditional embroidery floss in silver. It's not metallic thread but has a pretty sheen. The "Merry & Bright" sentiment is included in the set.
As always, you can stitch the diecuts or you can leave it solid. It's optional to use the dies with the stitching holes. Such a great thing.

Great cards! I used to have all kinds of pearl cotton- i'll have to hunt to see if any is left! I've got this die set, not even opened yet. For Shame!
