Needle painted tulips

Stems and leaves

To embroider the stems and leaves, I used the colors 369, 368, 367 and 520.

I chose to embroider the stems and leaves in the soberest possible way because the strong point of this embroidery is the flowers.

I did not put detailed pictures. You must begin by embroidering the stems and then each leaf starting at the top. When the work is finished, do not forget to emphasize the edges of the stems with long back stitches very finely, either with the darkest green or with the lightest one depending on the color of the next leaf.
