This one isnt the soft lacy hearts type. Its a big solid red heart with a crack running right down the middle and a neon yellow-green paint splash exploding out from where it breaks. The splatter radiates outward with irregular drips and streaks, kinda like someone threw a paintball at a heart-shaped target and caught the moment on camera. Very graphic, very bold, very much not a typical valentines design.
Two colours only, tomato red and that sharp acid yellow-green. Thats what gives it the punch. embroidery software digitised the splatter sections with fine satin fills following the direction of each drip so the stitching reinforces the movement. Stitch count goes from 8,445 on the 3.5-inch all the way up to 28,815 on the 7.5-inch. Even the largest size runs fast, the flat colour areas dont fight your machine.
I made this because I was kinda sick of digitising the same soft pink hearts over and over, to be honest. And it turns out peoples doing custom merch for breakup-boutique shops and anti-valentines pop-up events love it. One customer who runs a screen-printing and embroidery pop-up told me she stitched it on black tees last february and sold every single one on the day. Cant ask for better feedback than that.
Stitch it on black, charcoal, or deep navy cotton for max impact, the red really screams on dark fabric and that yellow just glows. Avoid pale or white fabric because the 2-colour graphic needs the dark contrast to read properly. Pair medium cutaway under even on the smaller sizes, the dense satin fill on the heart core needs proper backing. Pop the petite 3.5 on a back pocket for a subtle nod or go big with the 7.5-inch as a centrepiece on a hoodie chest.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
