"Pumpkin" Cross Stitch Card

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to share a card I made using cross-stiching.  I saw inspired by Jennifer McGuire's cross stitch videos a while back, and was finally able to give it a try!   I went with a simple pumpkin design for my first go around.  Although it took some time, it was definitely therapeutic. 

Here is my card and a close up of the stitching and sparkly cardstock...

I used the Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock for my card base.  The cross stitch die is by Paper Smooches.  I die cut the cross stitch patter twice, and then colored in the holes that I would be threading through.  This was my template and it's one I can use over and over again. Afer I finished cross stiching the pumpkin, I taped down the ends with the scotch tape.  
I used Paper Smooches Leaves Dies and the "thanks" die by Your Next Stamp.  I layered my finished card stock onto some glitter cardstock before adhering it to my base card stock. 

Thanks for stopping by!
