Cretan and Knotted cretan Stitch

Along with my blogger friend Leela I tried knotted cretan stitch and later did a project on my daughter's dress. I changed a little bit of knotted cretan stitch unlike the regular one.
The dress had prints on it with flowers and leaves which were best suited for cretan stitch.
So I did knotted cretan stitch for leaves and cretan stitch for leaves. Threads are cone threads.
How did you like it!!?
