Sometimes it can be hard to differentiate the greens of trees. I use a lot of the same color combinations across designs, so that the illustrations work well together.

This is quick visual guide to help you decode which tree colors go where. This should clarify the background colors on some of Spider Spun's most popular outdoor scenes. 

These trees are seen on the following designs: Christmas Market, Ski Slopes (Stocking and Topper), Tree Lot (Stocking only*)

Note: The main (background) colors are always the same as what is shown here, but sometimes the accents get switched up. The above combinations will always work, but if you want to follow your canvas exactly, refer to your specific stitch guide for details about the accent colors.

Stitching Instructions

Forest Green Trees

For the darkest green trees, begin by stitching the details in Black using Continental. Then, fill the rest with Forest in Basketweave.

Jade Green Trees

Start by stitching the details of these trees in Forest, using Continental. Finish by filling the main color in Jade using Basketweave.

Olive Green Trees

Stitch the accents of the trees with Fir, using Continental. The background (or main) color of the tree is Olive, which you’ll fill in using Basketweave.

Fir Green Trees

For mid-tone green trees, start with Forest for the details, using Continental. Then stitch the background in Fir, using Basketweave.

*The Tree Lot topper is close, but has some slight differences.
