Counted Cross Stitch: Nancy's Posies

Finished stitching this lovely design: Nancy's Posies by Needlemade Designs. Love the serene, watercolour feel. Classic Colorworks Pea Pod gave lovely variation to the leaves. One mod was that the DMC  372 for the darker part of the ground gave too much contrast to the beige, so blended it with 613.

I tried a variety of buttons, then chose these rose buttons on Etsy. Six seemed to overpower/look top heavy, so tried just four (not yet decided). The fabric is fab (greeny-grey); need to locate the name.
