I based my design on a card I found via a Google search for sweetheart cards.

Many of the original cards are stitch on fine, translucent fabrics, so I used a fine muslin from my stash.

To emphasis the translucence of the fabric, I stitched the rose in shadow stitch. I have never used this technique before so there was a bit of a learning curve.

I varied the stitch size to give different densities of colour. I think it works better with closely worked stitches than the more open stitching.

It's a great idea to use the shadow stitch - it creates a very subtle effect!
