Basket of Flowers sampler

I have drawn and sewn this stitchery and you are welcome to use the drawing if you like. If you do this stitchery would you please send me a picture of it? I would love to see it done differently.

I have stitched it using one strand of DMC thread. When I finished it, I gave it a bath in a little weak tea. I then microwaved it in 30 second intervals until it dried. I then put a few splodges of a coffee stain in different parts of it to age it more. If you have any questions..just email me and I will happily answer your questions.
