My first idea for the XE challenge did not work out, so I resorted to casing a card from Mary Ann Rossiter aka stampinmak: Special Day in blues by stampinmak at Splitcoaststampers
changing colors and ribbon and adding a stitched heart and called it a day, lol.

I used to do counted cross stitch, then I discovered stamping and that is another story!! This is just gorgeous. Love the background impression and the beautiful framing of the sentiment. Just WOW!

Beautiful...you do such amazing cards even if it wasn't your 1st choice! That "stitching" looks amazing as well as the beautiful die cut headline.
