    Love's fire amid winter's ice

    Karen's design is full of details and challenge that create a piece that the happy couple can't help but be stunned by. The centre is the best place to start a detailed design like this one, where you need to do a lot of careful counting. Start by working the cross stitch first using two strands of stranded cotton. There are no fractional stitches in this design, just whole cross stitches, so this will make the design grow quickly. The three DMC Light Effects threads used in this design add pearlescent effects. These are pastel, pearly and iridescent colours which are ideal for creating the shimmering effect of snow in the winter scene and making the doves stand out.
