Very nice. I'm wondering what the size is and embroidery technique - cross stitch or outline stitch or a combination.

the fnished size of this piece is about 30cm and you use backstitch, satin sticth and a running stitch. Great for beginners, but beautiful if you want to add a few more creative stitches of your own!
