As the last of the magnificent blooms give way to spring and summer green, I work fast to catch a late bloom, slightly yellowing, but no less perfect.
Drawing it never really does justice but is fun all the same!(looks like I need to flip that leave around!)
The color blending allows me to embroider one layer, choosing my directional stitching with stitch angle options. I chose a creamy yellow rayon for the underlayer.
And a pretty coral-pink for the top layer, then selected from the blending options for my desired look. I ended up making four separate petals instead of the entire flower so that I could control blending on each. The leaf was done as two separate sections so that I could achieve veining as I wanted from angle and fill options.
For the center of the flower, I used the new texturing tool for a more natural-edged circle
Finished embroidery on pink silk-ready to stitch up for Blythe's nursery!
Handmade gifts from the heart are the BEST!
