Love Blossoms Tree now in Full Bloom!

If you have been following the progress of our member's lovely cross stitch Love Blossoms Tree available from Bothy Threads; you will be pleased to know that it is complete, framed and on its way to the newly married couple. Such a lovely gift with a lot of love stitched into it. 
Jean kindly brought it into the last meeting so that I could photograph it and show it off to you all.
Here is a pic of the finished tree and some close ups for your viewing pleasure.

 This is a large piece measuring 34 cm x 26 cm and is very detailed as you can see below (the trunk is all one colour, the darker grey is due to the shadow of the lighting).

 Lace flowers and gold beads add to the details and there a little surprises dotted throughout like hearts and butterflies and wording in back stitch - sooo much back stitch.

 A sweet heart on the tree branch above, and a butterfly, beads and lacy flowers below.

 There are flowers 'growing' on each side of the tree trunk as you can see in the following 2 photos.

Another butterfly and sequin flowers adding more detail. 
This stitchery is a real labour of love and it was exciting to see it grow over the past few months ( see posts here, here and here). Thank you very much Jean for sharing your stitching journey with us.
