Challenge #8 - Stitching

Welcome back to the Dies R Us Challenge Blog!
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in our
'Birthday' challenge!  We appreciate your support!! 
It's always so much fun to see what you create!

Congratulations again to the 'Birthday' winners!
(PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE WINNER'S POST) 
Today's challenge is:
Stitching (faux or real)
(remember you must use die cuts on your creations)
I don't know about you, but I think stitching adds a wonderful, decorative element to any card creation.  And, there are so many different styles of stitching to choose from ... whether from a machine or hand-drawn.  We are excited to see what stitching technique you choose to create with!
Now, let's see what TEAM B has created for your inspiration:
