To make this card I used:
6" x 6" kraft card blank
Textile Heritage 'Butterflies and Buddleia' cross stitch kit
My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Square STAX Die-namics' die
Snippet of kraft card

After stitching the design I trimmed around the edge of the fabric so it was slightly smaller than the card blank. I trimmed the snippet of kraft card so it was a little larger than the fabric and die cut the stitched square from the centre. I then used double sided tape to attach the stitching behind the frame and the frame to the card blank.
I am entering the following challenges:

This is beautiful cross stitching Kath, and love the buddleia with two different butterflies, and within that prettily shaped frame, and the kraft card aperture frame and card go perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteWow, you're always finding the sweetest cross stitch kits in the charity shops, and such a great idea to use it for a card. Thanks for playing along at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge, we hope you'll share again soon.
