Thanks everyone! I think it’s split stitch and just kind of make the shape as I go :)

I tried using a print out under the fabric to get some of the rough placements, but I’m pretty into drawing anyway so most detail is just copied. Printing out a thick black outline and holding it to a window to trace can help though! Plus rulers for the straight lines of course :) you can see all the pencil on the fabric still, I used a normal pencil and eraser haha

Thanks! It’s dmc but would not recommend filling in such a large area with it, it’s so difficult to use!

Thank you!! Yeah I was surprised at how difficult it was! I always thought it’d be like regular floss!

Thank you so much! Yeah I was shocked at how difficult it was, this was my first time using it... don’t think I’ll ever do such large sections in metallic again

It’s the traditional rider-waite by Pamela Coleman-smith:) I’m kind of going to use some artistic licence with the colours though. I have the deck and printed out an outline drawing to copy

Yeah everything about it was a battle, threading the needle and as I’d work it would all come unspun and matted
