Card embroidery

Over on the mse making cards thread the challenge was to make a card using stitches - well I love card embroidery, its time consuming but I love the finished effect.

Due to kiddies being on holiday I've been rather busy so havent been on mse much, but had to enter this challenge. I couldnt choose which one to enter, so heres a couple:
A fire breathing green dragon (I love dragons), The base card is mottled brown, and I scorched the base of it.

This snowflake pattern I took from my moms 1970's book that shows how to do it but putting the thread round nails rather than holes in card like I did.
