My Genetian cross stitch card was a Top 5 on the Try It On Tuesday 'Things With Wings' challenge and I have been invited to be Guest Designer on the 'Autumn Magic' challenge. As my Top 5 was a cross stitch card, I've decided to use cross stitch for my GD card. This card uses a lovely autumnal design by Durene Jones and was a chart in Cross Stitch Crazy magazine.

6" x 6" white matt card blank
Durene Jones 'Autumn Wonder' cross stitch chart
Lawn Fawn 'Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' die
14 count white aida
DMC threads 349, 471, 472, 498, 729, 782, 900, 947 and 3031
Snippet of brown textured card
I stitched the design using the chart from the magazine and set it aside. I cut the brown textured card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and die cut the stitched square from the middle. I placed the frame over the completed cross stitch and found the green base was a few stitches short on each side so I added a couple few more green stitches so the grass fitted inside the brown stitched frame. I trimmed the aida so it was slightly smaller than the frame and used strong double sided tape to attach it to to the back of the frame and then to the centre of the card.
I am entering the following challenges:
Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
