23rdspiral, don't be embarrassed thats a lovely card, my mum's is some flowers in a basket, will post it when done For mounting them, if you have any regular A4 Card just cut out a hole then use some to cover the back, thats what i'm doing with some card blanks i bought. Been searching for some aperture cards and found loads cheap on ebay about £2 for 8/10 delivered, but going to use what i got for now.

Sweetcarer, the alphabet is lovely, love the butterfly

Thanks nmm, i'm really pleased with how it turned out..now I just have to find the right frame to match

23rdspiral if you have a plain blank card why not just fray the edges slightly by pulling away a few strands of the aida and glue your cross stitch to the front of the card..I've seen it done in the cross stitch magazines and they look really nice

pm2326, i never thought of doing it that way, a quick google came up with this example might give it a bash myself

Well done pm2326, it looks fantastic :T:T

I've got this kit in my 'to do' stash but I've got a couple of UFOs to sort out first I will get to it eventually...

but perhaps someone can advise on the best way to mount it for a card without buying a card with a hole in it?

You could stick it to the front of a plain card and take a few layers of aida away from the edges to create a frill?

Awesome2; I really love the caravan x stitch you are doing. Would like to do it myself but cant justify the spends! Are you caravaners? It would look really sweet in a caravan. I hope you post a photo when you've finished it.

Wow that's amazing. You had a marathon finishing it, no wonder you ached:o Have you got a space on the wall planned for it? How long did it take you to do

Sweetcarer; that is a lovely project. Are you going to frame it or do something else?
