Have been wandering around to all the blogs that I love to check out, spent more time doing that then creating, but did get a couple of cards made. Paper Craft Planet has a tutorial on how to use paper towels to give texture you your card stock. Looked very interesting so had to give it a try.
It is a little hard to see but I did use the paper towel to add the texture to the background of the card. It does give an interesting effect and is simple to do, I used Chocolate Chip ink on the off white card stock.
You have to overlook the stitching, it is not straight at all, this was my first time using a sewing machine to make the stitching. Thought this would be pretty easy, but as you can see I need a lot more practice sewing on paper. Stitching on the card was a challenge at Sherrod Studios.
The layout for the card is a sketch from MOJO MONDAY Week #121. The papers used are from Lasting Impressions. A corner punch was used to add a little more interest to the sentiment and mat. 
Have a crafty day.
Very pretty, and seriously, I think your stitching is perfect for this card... lovely shabby chic look to go with the textured background and the soft colors!
