Stitched Cross

Hi!
   A Happy Sunday to you all. So soon another week has gone by. Here's an Easter card I made for a dear friend in San Francisco with who my daughter spent her entire winter break.

Supplies used:

Scrap of plastic mesh 

Silk thread

Stamps - Sentiment- Basket Blessings-Gina K

                 Grass & rocks- Just Breathe-Firecracker Designs

tiny tulip punch

crayola colour pencils

    The cross was cut into shape from a scrap of plastic mesh which we used on our windows to prevent insects. The star stitch was used to sew it just to add some interest. Here's a pic. to demonstrate how it's done. 

If you consider the points the needle has to be passed through, as the hours on a clock, the needle has to go from 6 to 12 hrs and a knot tied behind. Next the needle goes from 1 to 7, 2 to 8 and so on in a clockwise direction. It can also be done anti clockwise, but the uniformity has to be maintained in all the diamonds. However in this case it's like a 20 hour clock as the needle has to go through 10 times not 6 as in a normal clock.                      

As the cross looked very lonely, I added some stamped rocks, grass, punched tulips and clouds. Kindly click on the image for a larger view.
