I completed the Cherry Blossom stitching.  You’ll be able to see components one and two of this challenge right here { 1 – 2}

This motif is from my Cherry Blossom embroidery set.

Now for the challenge particulars.  These are the stitches I used:

Again Sew for the tree branches, the lantern outlines, and the silver lantern hanging traces.  The silver is all Kreinik metallic nice braid.  I can not say sufficient good issues about this braid.  It’s so straightforward to make use of, not often tangles and has a lot sparkle! The flowers are all shaped with Straight Sew.  I used three strands of floss, pink, mild pink and white.  The flower facilities and all of the buds are French Knots.  The lanterns are crammed with Seeding Sew and the lantern fringe is Turkey Work.

Listed here are the floss shade numbers.  The 2 which can be troublesome to see are the silver, {Kreinik nice braid metallic no. 001} and the pale pink, {DMC no. 23}. I additionally used white, DMC Blanc.
