Cross Stitched Card

A card I made for a card swap, which I can post now that I know it's been received.

I used a Marianne Designs cross stitch die in cream card and die cut again with a Spellbinders 'Lacey Squares' die.  I used crochet cotton to stitch the design.  I layered the lacey square on a Memory Box 'Stitched Square Layers' die cut.  The cream embossed background was done with a Spellbinders 'Dainty Dots' embossing folder.  The sentiment is raised up on a foam pads and layered over a strip of ribbon.

I am joining in the following challenges:
Allsorts Challenge - Week 664 ~ "I love.... cross stitching on cards"
Little Red Wagon Challenge #642 ~ Make It Stitched
Creations in Pink Challenge # 43 ~ Anything Goes in MAINLY Pink

    Such a pretty cross stitched flower Liz and beautifully presented with some wonderful layering and the pink and turquoise is a super colour combination. I love the Dainty Dots EF too which looks great as a background. x

    Oh my, this is a gorgeous card Liz! I love your cross stitch pattern, the little pink flower is so pretty. I love the color combo of the green, pink and white as well as the embossing on the background. Do you just make up a pattern to cross stitch, or do you have a pattern that you follow? I just it when I see you do cross stitched cards! Hugs, Brenda

      Thanks, Brenda. Usually I find a pattern online and tweak it a bit to fit the size of the die cut. xx
