{"product_id":"desert-cactus-2","title":"Desert Cactus Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the desert cactus design and its got that dry southwest energy I realy like. The main plant is a cluster of prickly pear pads stacked and fanned out, with proper little spines poking off every edge. Smaller rounded pads branch off the sides. At the base theres a clump of narrow agave blades coming up from the sand and two flat grey rocks sitting either side, which grounds the whole thing so it doesnt look like a clip art cutout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix colours total. Two greens do most of the work, a lighter sage on those flat body sections and a deeper forest green on the outlines and spine detail. Creamy white comes in for the highlights on the pad surfaces, sand for the ground patch, grey for the stones and a dark olive green on the agave blades. my main digitising tool digitised the cactus body with tatami stitch so ya get that woven texture you see in the PDF preview, not a flat satin block. Its a real difference when you hoop it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get alot of orders for this one from people doing southwest themed home goods. One customer last spring grabbed the 6.73-inch for a set of cream linen placemats and they looked genuinely gorgeous. She sent me a photo and honestly it fit the fabric better than I expected, the sage green against natural linen is just right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop the smaller 3.14-inch on a canvas tote pocket or a denim shirt chest. Use the big 6.73-inch on a canvas cushion cover or a tea towel. Stick to natural fabric tones like oatmeal, cream, tan or sage so the cactus colours dont fight the background. Skip black or navy, it loses the ground detail in the darker rock shading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dense sections run up to about 46k stitches on the fullest size so Back it with heavyweight cutaway on anything stretchy. Woven cotton and linen take a tearaway just fine. Hoop snug because the spine detail stitching is small and tight. And holler at me if the file gives you any trouble loading, Ill sort a fresh export same day. Holler at me if the punch gives any trouble and Ill rework it fast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46366214914198,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/DesertCactusEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777525002","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/desert-cactus-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
