Baby Fox With Rose Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This lil fox is sitting down holding a single rose like its the most important thing in the world. The body is that warm caramel brown with a cream belly panel and the ears have a soft dusty pink inside. Big round eyes take up about half the face, theres tiny rosy blush marks on each cheek, and the nose is a dark chocolate button. Real kawaii proportions, the head is massive compared to the body and that's what gives it that whole melty-cute feeling.

The rose itself breaks the warm-tones palette in a really nice way. Red petals, teal stem and leaf, so you get 3 distinct colour zones stacked in the design. Thirteen colours total in the file but they're organised in logical thread swap groups so its not as chaotic as it sounds. The fur texture comes from a combination of satin columns running outward from the centre body and shorter fill passes on the ear interiors. My digitiser spent a lotta time on the tail curl at the bottom right, its done in 3 separate shading passes.

I originally made this one last february for a baby shower commission, a mum wanted something for her daughters woodland nursery theme that wasnt the usual deer-and-mushroom combo. She recieved the file and within 2 weeks sent me a photo of it stitched on a cream fleece blanket. It looked gorgeous. Since then I get orders from nursery illustrators and mums who do custom baby gifts on the side.

Use cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy, this design runs up to 128k stitches on the 7-in jumbo size so you need proper backing. Pop it on minky fabric or cotton velvet for the nursery look, the dense satin sections really sing on plush surfaces. Pair the small 3.5-in build for a bib or burp cloth. Avoid busy patterned fabric, 13 colours need a clean background to read.
