The satin stitch is my current favorite stitch! This layout features my Heart Background for Stitching Cut File and the Take Note collection by Simple Stories.
I used 9 different DMC embroidery threads to stitch the hearts: 353, 580, 676, 922, 993, 3689, 3712, 3806, and 3811. It takes about 5 minutes to stitch each heart and there are 48 hearts which equals about 4 hours of stitching time. I love this quick & easy technique of stitching to fill in lots of space!
I didn't want to cover much of the stitched background so I created a photo cluster on the middle right side with a 3x4" photo, chipboard title, die cuts, and a few stickers. I also topped most of the stitched hearts with a tiny tone-on-tone embellishment.
