Here is my take on this week's challenge:
Here is a side view:
I used a Verve Stamp set called Kindred Spirits. The paper is from my stash of SEI from their Granny's Kitchen Collection. Anyone remember that one? I used Crumb Cake and Soft Sky cardstock from SU. I don't own a sewing machine so that is hand-stitching you see on there. I used my Cricut Expression and Lacy Labels cartridge to cut out the circles. The scalloped oval is a Spellbinders die called Lacy Ovals.
My card design was based on this sketch from Verve:
