Here is the full-view of the Shadow-Work Embroidery.

I have used several colours of cotton floss single-strand for all the items on the stitching. The embroidery is done on a white organdy material.
For the flowers and leaves on the middle of the embroidery I have used herringbone stitch( shadow work) done on the rear of the material. The tiny flowers on the border of the stitching were done using buttonhole stitch on the front side. Shadow work embroidery usually needs a lining material to go with it.
