Butterfly on Color Burst Dandelion Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Butterfly perched on a dandelion mid colour burst, stitched at 4 inches with real movement to it. Big dandelion bloom shaped like a fluffy fan of rounded petals, alot of them, each one filled in a different solid block, cyan blue, peach orange, tomato red, lemon yellow and ivory white. The petals fan out from a dense black centre disc that anchors the whole bunch.

Sitting on the upper right side of the bloom is a black-outlined butterfly, wings spread wide, fine line work showing the wing pattern but no fill, just open detail so the butterfly reads almost like a sketch laid over the colour. Down below the bloom is a long curving stem and a bunch of dandelion seeds drifting away in red and yellow and cyan dots, like the wind just caught em.

Worked this one up over a quiet weekend last april. One customer wanted matching pieces for her niece nephew duo. She went with the 4-inch run for tee shirts and that colour burst aswell on the smaller petals stayed crisp at that size. The seeds drifting underneath are tiny dot fills so dont push the small size below 3 inches or the dots blob together.

Run the 5-inch on a white cotton tee or a soft pale grey hoodie for spring kid clothes. The 3-inch fits a denim school bag, the black butterfly outline really pops on dark blue indigo. And the colour burst petals work alot better on smooth woven fabric than knits. Skip ribbed jersey for the small dot seeds, they sink and disappear.

Use a tearaway stabiliser, the design is light enough at 23,812 max stitches that ya dont need cutaway unless ya hooping fleece. Hoop snug and ease the rpm right back on the dandelion centre, theres dense black satin packed in there.
