A sweet page with stitching

Here's a scrapbook page I completed this week. I am really enjoying stitching on pages and I think it worked particularly well here.  

I used a mist spray with a butterfly stencil to add to the patterned paper background. The butterfly mask is an acetate one I found on Ebay, which is described as an airbrush stencil. It's not as sturdy as the Crafters Workshop type stencil but does the job well.

After I had added the layers of papers and embellishments I sketched out the design for the stitching on the back of the page. It's based on a motif in the book "Doodle Stitching" by Aimee Ray. I bought this book ages ago and then wondered why I had. Now I know!

I thought the finished page needed a little more texture and so I used my sewing machine to stitch on some daisy lace and a strip of felt.

A little button finished off the stitched motif. I loved sewing on the page - look out for more stitching on pages soon!
