Join designer Nichole Vogelsinger as she combines watercolor, cross stitch, embroidery, and seed beads to create a stunning botanical artwork full of color, texture, and dimension. Learn how painted backgrounds, simple stitches, and carefully placed beads work together to transform Aida cloth into a one of a kind mixed media piece.

Throughout the class, Nichole shares techniques for adding watercolor effects, creating decorative stitching, and embellishing your design with John Bead seed beads. The result is a beautiful floral project that bridges traditional needlecraft with modern mixed media art.

Whether you enjoy cross stitch, embroidery, beadwork, or watercolor painting, this project offers a creative way to combine all four techniques in a single design.
