I made up some cards today using the samples I had stitched a month or so ago. I bought some aperture cards from Hobbycraft last week with the perfect sized apertures.
For each of the cards, I cut a square of wadding to fit the aperture. This means that it gives a much softer finish to the cards.
The first card is cross stitched using Stef Francis hand dyed silk and co-ordinating DMC Threads 797 and 912.
This pattern is called Mariano.
I used the same threads to stitch this Benecia design.
The next two needlepoint cards were stitched using Paterna Persian tapestry wool.
This one I usedcushion stitch
This card has a variety of cushion stitch and long stitch

Your cards are great!
Hi, Thank you for visiting my blog. I like the idea of those cards. Very simple, jet so stylish and beautiful. I'll try to remember that idea.
The cards have turned out great - very elegant look to them. :0)

Lovely cards. What a pleasure to get one of those!
These almost make me want to take up needlepointing again so I can make such beautiful cards. But I think I have enough on my plate at the moment.
WOW! What gorgeous cards!
