I had the cross-stitch already made, and I thought it might be a cute idea for my friend to just add a little bit of repositionable tape on the back so that she can take it off and use it as a book mark. I really should have made a bigger size card so that I could use a bit of ribbon on it but I had to mail it so I left the ribbon off. The tag and cross-stitch pattern are from My favorite things so I went through my stamps from them and found this little girl and thought it would go with the cross-stitch perfectly :)
I popped the girl and the sentiment up with some foam tape so that the sun could sit behind.
