Embellish Challenge w/ Stitching

I saw the new Embellish color challenge last week quickly as I was doing my morning blog visits.  Unfortunately, I didn't study the colours closely enough because I thought the colours were Kraft, Pink and Baby Blue--and I created a card with that colour scheme which I ended up posting about here.  When I went to go post the card I realized I hadn't used the right colours--I felt so stupid!

However, I couldn't let this challenge go by, especially since it involved stitching!  Have I mentioned before how much I've become attached to my sewing machine?!  Here's Embellish's challenge:

My orginal card had more hand stitching on it, but on this card I used a new sewing technique for me--swirvy lines.  I sort of wish I put more stitching on the card--perhaps on the pink strip.  Hard to know when to stop sometimes. Any way, here's my card:

The book print totally gives this card a Dawn McVey feel--not surprising since she's one of my favourite designers!

Supplies:

PTI Kraft cardstock; PTI Beautiful Blooms stamp set; Inkadinkado sentiment; vintage book print; Prima flowers; MM buttons;  Versamark Ink; Distress Ink Walnut Stain; pink embroidery floss.

Thanks 4 your time!
