Hey everyone! I've been trying to make this one myself but without photoshop it's proving too hard! I've edited as much as I could by myself with pixlr and KG
I want the attached image but without all the greenery around it OR with a fade out of just a colour rather than a background. Could anyone help me out? I'd be super grateful. Thank you!

What size Aida are you looking to use and about how big do you want this? And when you say a fade out of a color are you meaning like a single color that progessively gets lighter as you go out from the main image of the picture or from the outside in to the main image?

Sorry I wasn't clear!
I'd like this on 14 count, when I put this into KG it was about 55cm by 40cm and that's works for me
I mean a gradient that fades from the image out, basically replacing the greenery. Does that makes sense?

Thank you for your quick answering. I understand now what you mean about the fading color. Any particular color you would like to fade out or just something complimentary?

Not a problem. I will get to work on it and see what I can come up with.

I think I've done what you want. Take a look at it and let me know if it's not right.
It's 28 pages on 8 x 10 paper which is a lot, but it's up to you.

That's great but I was hoping the green could fade out to nothing/white?
Also, yes it is huge haha. Honest opinion, do you think I should have it smaller? Say 20-30cm? Sorry to be a pain and thank you so much!

I can reduce the size to 20 or 30 cm and see what we get from that. I can also try to fix the fade to end with white around the edges.
*Edited for new pattern*
Here is the newer pattern scaled back to 30ish cm by 23ish cm, with a better fading out to white at the edges.
