Cross Stitch! I LOVE
the Sweet Threads Simply Sent Kit in the Spring Catalog. We had fun making them at our last Chicks and
Salsa class. A couple girls have never
cross stitched before and felt so accomplished with their finished cards.
With this card I added a few extra elements. I embossed, paper pierced the edge and added
a cross stich boarder (3 strands) around the edge. I used 5 strands for the frosting (6 was a little
to thick). Lastly I added the Gumball
Green card base to give to a little more stability and to hide the back of the
stiches.

This is some cross stitch I made several years ago for my dear
grandmother, Violet who passed in June of 2011.
I was overjoyed to get them from her estate this month. Even though the “Saturday Evening Post” was a
Christmas theme she was proud to keep it on display in her living room all year
round.
