Summer Goodiesa Cross Stitch Pattern by Shannon Christine Designs

I just ordered this chart several days ago and can't wait to get it because it looks like a lot of fun. I'm undecided on the dark fabric which according to her website is either dirty aida or country mocha aida. I was leaning toward ice blue aida. What does everyone think. Is this too light? I thought the design would have a more summery look on that color if the colors don't get lost or disappear on it because it's too light. Thoughts or other fabric color suggestions? I realized that I also have Charles Craft Sea Foam aida in my stash that I think would be a big enough size for this project. It may work too--decisions, decisions.

Kristi, would you please list the required supplies for this. It looks like a fun stitch! Thanks! Mary
