Making an embroidered bookmarker - with ladybugs & fingerloop braids /

In this video I am taking you through the steps to create a little multi-strand booker using stumpwork (raised) embroidery, applique and fingerloop braids. This was created as my project for #monthlymake2023, a challenge on our Facebook group. January's prompts (drawn from two bowls) are "red" and "creature".
For the ladybug I used our "Elizabethan Inspired Stamp set #1003 :

The braid shown is a fingerloop braid from my book "Tak V Bowes Departed - a Fifteenth Century Braiding Manual Examined (co-written with the late Elizabeth Benns)":

I've also used DMC stranded cotton.

Exquisite work! Thank you so much for this. Many years ago, I was taught how to do padded satin stitch. Each segment takes really a long time to do. But it is so satisfying to work and makes wonderful petals and shapes.
