Collection D'Art Cross Stitch Kit "Christmas Train" - BC8144

Hop on the Christmas train with this spectacular cross-stitch kit from Collection D'Art. The design features a red and gold steam locomotive chugging through a snowy forest in the dead of night, with its headlight on, lit windows, and a large plume of white smoke rising toward a deep blue sky dotted with snowflakes. Behind it, it leaves behind snow-laden fir trees, a decorated tree topped with a golden star, a small house with glowing windows in the distance, and lanterns hanging from bare branches. In the foreground, the tracks disappear into the snow, and a sprig of holly with red berries peeks out from the corner.

The design's true merit lies in the contrast between the darkness of the night and the warm light sources: the 35 colors of DMC Mouliné thread recreate the glow of the headlight on the snow, the golden reflections on the metal boiler, and the cottony volume of the smoke. It is an intermediate-difficulty project with great detail, in a 16 x 21 cm vertical format, which looks stunning framed and works as a centerpiece for your holiday decor. A perfect gift for lovers of classic trains, winter scenes, and the most evocative Christmas.
