I made this card to send to Gundi for the July Card Chain Challenge. I used the Colour Option (Red, White & Blue) and the Product/Technique Option (Something a friend sent you/Stitches). My card uses a Mouseloft seahorse cross stitch pattern that a friend gave me last year.
I stitched the seahorse in two shades of blue and used red thread (rather than the green on the pattern) for the weeds as this matched the colours in the challenge. I made the frame from red card using two stitched circle dies. The fabric was trimmed to fit behind the frame and this was then attached to the centre of the card.

To make this card I used:
5" x 5" white matt card blank
Mouseloft 'Seahorse' cross stitch pattern
My Favorite Things 'Outside In Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' dies
White 14hpi aida
DMC threads 307, 310, 702, 995 & 996
Snippet of red matt card
