Color Splash Raccoon Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres the colour splash raccoon and its a real kid-pleaser. The raccoon face stares straight at you, that classic black bandit mask across the eyes, fluffy cream snout, little black nose. Behind and around the head are these wild watercolour splashes in pink, teal, mustard and lilac. Looks like someone flicked paint at a portrait and it landed beautifully.

Six colours total. The raccoon itself uses charcoal grey, cream and a touch of black for the mask and nose. The splash bursts use hot pink, teal and mustard orange laid over each other in loose painterly shapes. If you look close at the splashes the stitch direction changes within each blob, kinda like brushstrokes layered up. Thats what gives it the loose watercolour read instead of flat blocks of fill.

Density runs gentle. About 37k stitches at the largest 7.48-inch hoop and just 15k on the smallest, so its kind on knit fabrics for a six-colour piece. Colour changes will eat your time more than the stitch count will. My niece picked this one for her year 4 backpack last term and we ran it on a pale grey canvas, the teal splash really sang against that soft fabric.

Stitch on lighter solid fabric so the splashes carry. Cream, pale grey, soft pink, sky blue or oat all work great. Skip black or navy because the cream snout area dosent show up on dark backgrounds. Avoid heavy fleece on the small sizes aswell, the splash detail can sink into a fluffy nap and you lose the painterly edge.

Drop a medium cutaway behind when youre stitching on tee fabric or canvas backpacks. On stiffer denim a tear-away will do fine. Hoop firm and watch the colour-change order. Getting the cream pass down before the dark mask saves you cleaning up bleed-through. Hit me up if anything looks off and Ill swap the file out.
