Today I have a card complete with matching box that I have made for my MIL who is due to be married tomorrow, I wanted something really special and I know she will treasure it so I decided to go with paper aida and cross stitch in the colours of the wedding, cream & pale pink. It has taken me countless hours to plan & stitch but I am really pleased with the result.

I have used Rymans cardstock and Anitas card blank, the backing paper is from Pink Petticoat (little fleurs). Cream linen card from my stash, flowers & ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts and the branch is a Martha Stewart punch. The pearls and beads are from also my my stash which I have wired together. Finished with Tim Holtz distress ink, Antique Linen. As before I have made the aida on the computer and hand punched the holes and then stitched.
