Using the MISTI to stamp it sure did help. I used my Specturm Aqua markers to color the stamp itself before stamping it onto my paper.
For the sentiment and the floss I used another set that I got free from Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine. This crafty paper worked perfect with the stitched theme of the card too :)
Taylored Expressions -- Embroidery Hoop die and Stitch by Stitch stamps
Spectrum Aqua Markers
Sew Pretty Vintage stamps -- sentiment and floss
Die-namics -- cross-stitch rectangles die (sentiment tag)
DCWV -- Crafty paper
Thanks so much for stopping in today, I appreciate it,

Beautiful!! And such a great idea too! I really love this one, Connie. It would be so lovely if you could help her and stitch along with her in person, I hope it will be a reality one day :)
That is so sweet! What a clever stamp.
I have tried cross stitch a few times, with mixed results it is so tiny and I get in tangles!!
