I've been AWOL for the last few days as my hubby planned a surprise trip to Florence for an early celebration of our 45th Wedding Anniversary, which is tomorrow. I'll post a few photos taken in Florence in a day or two. It really is my favourite city in the world!
I made this card for a special blogging friend and now I know it's been received, I can post it on my blog. When I saw this cross stitch pattern, I knew to would be perfect for a card for Di, who has the most adorable little dog. If you pop over to Di's blog HERE you'll see just how adorable Dudley is.
The cross stitch die is by Marianne Designs and I've used crochet cotton for the cross stitching. The completed cross stitch patterned was die cut with a Memory Box 'Stitched Square' die. The paw print border is a punch.
I am joining in the following challenges:
