A fairy rising upward, arms stretching high above her head, holding a single long-stemmed rose. The whole figure is a solid black silhouette so you get every detail of the butterfly wings spread behind her, the curve of the body, the pointed toes, all of it reading as clean black shape on whatever colour fabric you put it on. The only colour break is the rose bloom at the top, which is a deep red with dark shading in the petals. Two colours total, and honestly thats all it needs.
Only 16,522 stitches at the largest 7.5-inch size and 6,878 at at smallest 3.5. Really quick to stitch. The main body fill is a tight satin column running horizontally through the figure and wings, and the wing detail lines are recessed into it using a directional underlay pass so the lace-like pattern shows through without being cut out. I digitised those wing veins with Wilcom and they took three attempts to get right at the small sizes, wouldnt lay flat until I adjusted the underlay density.
Works on basically any fabric colour. White, cream, dusty rose, pale lavender, sage green, black. The black figure reads against almost everything and the red rose pops on both light and dark backgrounds. Use tearaway on woven cotton or linen, its the easiest setup for this design. On minky or velvet run a water-soluble topping first so the stitched body sits on top of the pile rather than disappearing into it. Dont rush the speed through the long wing fill sections either.
I get messages from mums making personalised gifts for teenagers and young women with this design quite regularly. One customer made a batch of lavender linen pouches as bridesmaids gifts last autumn and they looked really lovely. Great for tote bags, pillowcases, tees, or framed hoop art.

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.
