My first card with sewing!

This was a fun card using Walk In My Garden which I don't use often enough and has so much cool stuff on it. The flower stems, sign, and caterpillar (isn't he cute?) are all from WIMG, and the flowers are from George. I curled the petals with a little paint brush handle to add dimension. I embossed the leaves using the vines Quikutz folder, and the sign with a Fiskars plate. I used a lot of pearlized papers on this so it's hard to see the sign through the shine, but it says "Thinking Of You". I stamped the sky with a flourish and embossed with white powder. The grass was made with my new Fiskars treading water punch, and the butterflies with my trusty Martha Stewart punches. OH! And I sewed on this--my first time ever to sew on a card! That was fun and I love how it looks. But how is it that I've had this sewing machine for, like, 20 years and never realized it has only 2 stitches??? Now I NEED a newer sewing machine! Am I right? Thanks for taking a peek!
