Elegant Pink Flower Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The pink flower here is a big open peony-style bloom and its the sort of design bridal florists and garden enthusiasts go absolutely nuts for, honestly. Five layered petals open out wide with a dusty rose colour on the outer petals fading to a soft blush pink towards the centre. Smack in the middle theres a small cluster of mustard yellow stamens, just a lil punch of warmth that stops the whole thing from looking washed out. On the left side a closed bud sits on a long arching stem, surrounded by a bunch of jagged dark green leaves at the base, with one teal-coloured accent leaf swooping out to the right.

Nine colours and five sizes go from 3.5 inches wide right up to 7.5 inches, stitches range from under 10k on the small end to about 23,712 on the largest. I've been digitising flowers for a while and this one is genuinely one of my favourite petal arrangements to work with because the satin columns on the petals catch light differently depending on the fabric. Pair it with off-white linen and the dusty rose thread reads warm and vintage. Put it on cream cotton and its more of a proper garden-show feel.

I sold a bunch of these last spring to a customer doing wedding favours for an outdoor june garden wedding, she stitched the 4.5-inch on muslin pouches and tied em with a blush ribbon. She messaged me after saying guests were asking where the bags came from. Use a light tearaway stabiliser for woven cotton and linen, works a treat at the 5.5-inch size on a tote bag pocket. Skip dark navy or charcoal here, the blush petals completely disappear. Stitch it on white, ivory, cream, sage or butter yellow and the nine colour changes read clean through every thread swap. The density sits at about 639 per square inch so its not a heavy stitch-out, even jersey handles the smaller 3.5-inch size without much drama if you use a proper cutaway underneath.
