Tyson and Megan's Wedding Certificate

I made this for my cousin Tyson and his new wife Megan. (Congrats you two!) I didn't have time to start this until two days before I was supposed to be in Oregon to help with the wedding and actually completed the entire thing in two days. I probably spent about 8 solid hours on it the second day (while watching Supernatural episodes of course). I think this was the first time I was actually sore the next day from embroidering.

I tried to keep the colors simple on this and really like how it came out. I found an interesting feather stitch that I used on the large heart border that I think came out really well. I've finally figured out what stitches work best for lettering and how to include some more decorative stitches in my pieces. Now I just need to find time to market these and sell them...
