Unicorn Embroidery

I finally got this punch needle kit out that I got from Michaels like a year ago. I think I bought the wrong type of needle for it because it was difficult to push the needle through the fabric and the thread would come undone every time. The punch needle stuff was sold out in stores for so long so I decided to embroider it instead.

 I did a loop stitch for the body, satin stitch for the blush, and back stitch for everything else. I used some metallic gold thread to add more details. I also used some of the felt flowers from the kit along with some nail art rhinestones and sequins.

I did a leaf stitch to make some little wings.
I wanted the mane to be more pastel-y so I only used the lighter colors from the yarn included and then added in some leftover handspun yarn I had around and some Teeswater locks. 
To cover the bottom, I crocheted some flowers out of #10 cotton thread and a 1.5mm hook.
And then I painted the background with some watercolors.
