Distressed Sewing

I combined three challenges all sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps - and this is the end result:

I would like to enter my card into these challenges:

One Stitch At A Time - Tic Tac Toe (Pearls + Lace + Distress)

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft called "Needle and Thread".  I added some lace from Sullivans and some gingham ribbon over the top.  The image is from Stitchy Bear Stamps and I added a row of brown pearls to the sewing table.  I matted with some scrap paper from a scrap paper pack which I tore to give a distressed look.  I also slightly distressed the edges of the image.  I die-cut a bobbin and thread using a die from Couture Creations and some black cardstock.
