As well as paper crafts I also love to Counted Cross Stitch kits. From time to time I like to make cards using small cross stitch kits as my focal image. I made this card for my Uncle a few years ago, he loves aeroplanes and he really liked this card.
To start off I completed the Bi-Plane kit by Mouseloft. I then adhered cross stitched piece of aida into the inside of a navy blue tri-fold aperture card also from Mouseloft using some double sided tape. To finish it off I used some silver peel offs to add the Happy Birthday and Uncle sentiments. I kept this card quite simple to show of the cross stitching.I am going to enter this card into three challenges Less is More Up in the Air Challenge, Allsorts Things with Wings Challenge and Alphabet Challenge Blog A is for Anything with Wings Challenge. I think this cards fits those challenges pretty well!
Until next time,

Supplies: Mouseloft Spaceman cross stitch kit, Mouseloft navy blue tri fold aperture card, Silver Peel offs, Double sided tape.
