Collection D'Art "Christmas Holly" Cross Stitch Kit - BC8146

Capture the most classic detail of Christmas décor with this elegant cross-stitch kit by Collection D'Art. The design features a still life by a frosted window, where a large red Christmas bauble with a golden cap rests on the wooden windowsill. Beside it, clusters of bright red berries nestle among deep-green holly leaves with perfectly defined serrated edges. On the other side of the glass, the bare branches of winter trees can be seen, a contrast that enhances the sense of warmth inside.

The most striking feature of the design is the treatment of light: 33 shades of DMC Mouliné thread recreate the reflections on the bauble's glossy surface and the wet shine of each berry, creating an almost photographic finish. This level of detail, combined with its compact size of 13 x 16 cm, makes it a highly rewarding intermediate-level project that requires care but progresses at a good pace. Framed as a seasonal picture, it looks splendid and makes a perfect gift for those who prefer understated, nature-inspired Christmas décor.
