I made this card for one of my neighbours to celebrate her 90th birthday. She used to do a lot of cross stitch herself (and is the person who has recently gifted me several bags of cross stitch items) so I thought a cross stitch card would be appropriate.

To make this card I used:
Needlepoise Occasion Card 'Pink General' cross stitch kit
This lovely card making kit included everything to make a greetings card, including a tri fold card and envelope. The chart included several different greetings, but I chose to add a '90' and used a scrap of graph paper to chart the numbers and then see where to place them in the centre of the design. I used the darkest green thread to stitch the numbers and then outlined them in the same colour. After completing the stitching I mounted it behind the aperture of the card blank and then folded the flap to cover the back of the stitching.
I am entering the following challenge:
