Bulbasaur and Psyduck Cross stitch

For both my friends birthday I decided to make a cross stitched version of there Favourite Pokemon Bulbasaur and Psyduck. The first thing I had to do is draw the design on some graph paper like so:

From this I could do the actual cross stitch on Aida which took me about 3 days to make. I had to make sure I had all the right colours as well.

After I had done this I then framed it, I brought a frame and then painted it to match the picture. I decided to go for a green and blu which represents Grass and water to and to the Pokemon theme. 

Here is the finished thing.

Seaside Picture - All Finished

I have finally finished my Seaside painting, I had a lot of fun making it and might do something else like this again. 

I used acrylic paint of it, but I watered down some of the colours.
