The buds are also embroidered in satin stitch and decorated with straight stitches 2 threads using House of Embroidery Herbs 92 (both colors) and the DMC 3770.
After embroidering the outlines with split backstitch 1 thread, fill each side of the leaves separately with satin stitch following the direction of the veins and using House of Embroidery Herbs 92 color.
