Stitching on a birthday layout

here is a quick idea that i used for a birthday layout for my husband. i was gifted some twine from the twinery the other week and i wanted to use them in a layout. i chose the darker blue and white twine since those are the colors of my husbands favorite soccer team :)

so ofcourse the idea is to stitch the numbers with twine. i started to use an old chipboard stickers sheet and traced the number from there. 

i then went ahead and made the holes for the needle to go in. 

and here is the end result. 

i also added a birthday candle (we ended up loosing the actual one) and just made the page really simple.
