Cross stitch birthday cards

So, it was Sprite Stitch that inspired me to take up cross stitch a while ago (three years?), but I actually haven't done very much videogame related stuff since then. I did make someone a Bubble Bobble birthday card early on (unfortunately I didn't have a camera at the time). And then I started making non-videogame cross stitch cards for people, and they seemed pretty popular, and then I never really got back to videogame stuff...

Well, that's all about to change, but in the meantime, I thought I'd post these:

I'll start with my favourite :-) This was my own design. It's basically a sprite, so I could prob. pass it off as videogame related? :-)

This one was a request. Yeah, I should point out that the subject matter of these cards reflects the tastes of the people they were for :-)

This was a for a Cambridge United supporter. (That's football (soccer). You won't have heard of them, they aren't very good...) The yellow pages is in context.

This one was for the owner of a ginger cat. I'm pretty pleased with the cat silhouette, which I came up with myself.

Nice! I really like this idea. I haven't seen cards personalised in this way before :)
