Intro
Create a bright botanical statement with a butterfly silhouette formed from symmetrical flowers, leafy stems, buds, and flowing antennae. Smooth satin stitching, layered fills, and a cheerful spring palette give this decorative design a polished and uplifting finish.
Designer’s Note
The butterfly is built entirely from mirrored floral branches arranged around a stitched green body. Yellow daisies, pink blossoms, blue bell-shaped flowers, round blue buds, striped pink buds, and layered green leaves shape the wings while long curved stems form the upper antennae. Carefully sequenced satin stitches, directional fills, crisp botanical edges, and fifteen stops preserve symmetry and clean separation throughout the detailed composition. Yellow, pink, green, and blue create a lively garden palette with a playful springtime mood.
