I am almost finished drawing the little black cat, which I created using an HB pencil, a black colored pencil, white colored pencil, yellow colored pencil, and a pink colored pencil. Now I just need to create the background for my cat.
I used lavender colored embroidery floss to cross stitch my initials on the bottom portion of the palm tree design.
After adding the initials I continued to cross stitch the blue sky in around the tree and the letters.
The final cross stitch project was completed once I had finished filling in the sky with the light blue colored embroidery floss.
The video of the completed cross stitch palm tree illustrates how a free style projects turns out when you simply have drawn a stitching outline on aida cloth.
