How to add dimension and texture to your embroidery!
If you are new to embroidery or not an expert, this is a fun way to still work your needle and thread. The background is a nice distraction to any flaws or wonky stitches. It all just kind of blends together.
The official name is "tinted embroidery" - but I call my style mixed media because I incorporate other elements.
I love this technique because I'm a huge fan of texture and lots of color. I'm the furthest thing away from a minimalist crafter/designer than one could ever be. I just keep adding layers and layers and layers...okay here we go!

Step 1Start with a blank design on fabric and then use fabric dye to give it color. I used Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye in teal and green.

Step 2Use fabric markers to color in the design areas.

Step 3Now outline with embroidery!

Step 4Add fabric glitter, crystals, anything else you want to make it pop! I even used glitter spray around the edges!
