Watercolour Embroidery Flower

"Did you know that you can combine watercolour paint and hand embroidery? Painting on fabric can save you a lot of time when embroidered, as it is quicker to add large blocks of colour and tone to an embroidered piece. Also, by adding stitches to watercolour painting, you can add texture to your craft. I combined watercolour painting and stitches to create this lovely floral embroidery. The pattern is free to download, along with a step-by-step tutorial and another design."
