I changed stamp sets, colors, dp, and I changed to punched lace instead of real lace. I added flowers in the corners (to cover up goof-ups).
I don't usually use real machine stitching on my cards; well, you can see why. I have so much trouble with my sewing machine. First the stitches are too big, then they're too small! The original card had machine stitching on it, so I thought I'd give it a try. Thanks for taking a peek!!

CarollAnn, the stitches are NEVER wrong--they have CHARACTER!! That's what I tell myself and I think yours look beautiful. They really do add another dimension and so does all the lovely floral work with both the flower soft and the beautiful corner and sentiment treatment. This is just the cutest little country gal. Send her over to the farm she would look like as pretty as a picture on a stool milking the cows with her lovely basket of flowers beside her!! Thanks for coming over to play, it's been such fun!
