First stitched card

Hi all Another quick post today with my first ever stitched card inspired from dynamic deepthi. She makes card so effortlessly and very quickly. I was inspired from the below card and hopefully CASed properly. I took the negative paper of the punched flower and traced on the purple cardstock and started stitching and i found it very nice to see the result. What i learnt is first punch the holes with a cork under the paper with a small needle and then start stitching. I put some rhinestones all over. I don't want to spoil the stitched card with my stamping directly on it so put the sentiment separately. I put the acetate all over the stitched pattern and made the frame from a pattern paper. The base of the card is white and so you can find white all around the frame but due to wind i couldn't capture the pic properly. I have only white thread and so proceeded with it. I will definitely try some more cards with stitching. submitting...
