The second birthday today. And this time it is for twins. This card is for the twin of the uncle who received the golfer card (sorry it’s not linked because the post isn’t live yet).

My husband and I took a quick trip to Texas while I was stitching this one. I didn’t have much time to work on it while we were away, and with a cancelled flight, well it put things a bit behind.

I did manage to take a picture of this one before I started any backstitching. Most of the way through I really debated whether I should backstitch as I went. Obviously you now know the answer to that one.

This pattern does have quite a bit of detail to it. The hardest was making the plaid shirt. I had to go back and add some lines that I had previously missed, but I think I got it all in the end.

I used the Cricut to create the frame for this card. I have a thicker blue paper with texture to it that I really liked. I felt that the browns and greens were a bit overpowering so I wanted to show more “water” and added the blue paper frame to create that effect.
