Last week I still headache to choose a design for my classmate wedding.
She will get married on May 2012 @ Denmark!
Since I can't attend her wedding so she request me just send her a Postcard with my own handwriting to her, so she will show out on her wedding day.

I digged out my old cross stitch magazine and found this:



I grab it our from Cross Stitcher Magazine Issue 225


From the book it suggest to use DMC DC27T-ARAB2 impression Aida. But I can't get it from my local stockist, but I found the ZWEIGART Aida Star!

It will *BLING BLING* under the light!

So I bought it for the project.....

Here my starting... Title - Perfect Match

Both the design for the card and the fabric are really beautiful and it is so good you have made a start with it too.
