Notes for Guidance:
As the work area is so concentrated, do not skip over stitching down your ribbons, it is far too easy to catch
other areas and pull through your previous stitches.
If you wish to replicate the full design or part of,
you may find it easier to do all of the bases
that are the one colour at a time.
Then progress to all the top petals and lastly the green tips.
