Stitched on 14 ct cream perforated paper with two strands of cotton floss. The red is a hand-dyed thread by Oliver Twist (bought somewhere in the UK), the green is some solid DMC I dug out of my box of embroidery thread. I finished the stitching with a single gold-coloured seed bead size 8/o [a very average seed bead] , sewn on with an x stitch with yellow sewing thread.
To make the card, I used a card blank (purchased for this particular purpose) and double-sided tape. Then I wrote the greeting on the inside of the card and that's it.
