The ribbons are made using juxtaposed rows of stem stitch.
They are embroidered as follows.
1 row of metallic thread n° 8 gold (Au Ver à Soie).
1 row of red and gold synthetic thread (that I had in my stash but whose origin I do not remember and which has the size of a pearl cotton n° 5 at DMC).
1 row of metallic thread n° 8 gold (Au Ver à Soie).
3 or 4 rows of Perle silk (Au Ver à Soie).
The pink flowers are embroidered with blanket stitch in raw silk (House of Embroidery n° 44B) and embellished with a very small pink rocaille bead.
The purple clusters are embroidered in French knots 2 threads and 2 wraps in raw silk (House of Embroidery n° 34).
The roses are woven with a 4mm white silk ribbon (House of Embroidery) and decorated with a golden bead. I put the bead before weaving the ribbon.
The white daisies are embroidered with lazy daisy stitch 2 threads in raw silk (House of Embroidery 31) and have a small seed bead in the color of the red ribbons in the center.
The leaves surrounding the pink flowers are embroidered with satin stitch 1 thread and raw silk (House of Embroidery 8).
The leaves surrounding the daisies are embroidered with double lazy daisy stitch 2 threads and raw silk (House of Embroidery 5).
The leaves surrounding the purple clusters are embroidered with stem stitch and lazy daisy stitch, all with 1 thread and raw silk (House of Embroidery 56).
The fir branches are embroidered with fly stitch and a dark green metallic thread n°4 (Au Ver à Soie). I added a small straight stitch also in golden thread also n°4 (Au Ver à Soie) at the end of each branch.
