Today I am showing you a cross stitch birthday card.
I saw this cross stitch pattern of a boho rainbow. I drew it myself in PC Stitch 11. I don't mind buying complicated patterns but this was easy enough to make myself. I can also easily change the colors if necessary. I stitched the pattern onto 18 count white Aida fabric using DMC embroidery floss. I ironed the piece to make it nice and flat as possible. Then I added a white passe partout frame onto the design and I added it to a kraft base card. I then made the sentiment into word and printed it out. I used a die cut heart button of Alexandra Renke and added the sentiments underneath. I tied a piece of hemp rope to the center of the heart button. I think this will make a nice birthday card for a men.
I will enter this to the following challenges:
