At that time we were pretty much limited to DMC, Kreinik metallics, wool, and Mill Hill beads. Or at least that’s what I had access to.
The cardinal and tree, including the snow, were stitched in DMC Floss. I then stitched the blue sky using a Kreinik metallic for night time sparkle. Beads were added on the tree to add some depth and glitz. I also added french knots for the snowflakes.
It’s been finished as an ornament with a red velvet back and with blue cording. The finished ornament is about 4” across.
I don’t have any records as to the designer. If you know, please let me know.
Hope you enjoyed my “Red Cardinal with Snowy Tree”!

Very pretty, Cyn.
A beautiful ornament Cyn I bet it looks stunning on your tree when it catches the light.
Boy is that pretty! DMC is still my favorite to work with :)
Very pretty, Cyn. You remind me now versatile DMC threads are. And their color range and available and price are unparalleled.
Beautiful ornament!
I like this! Thanks for sharing!
One of my favorite birds...especially when I get to spend part of the winter here in Evansville.
