✨ Fiora is part of the Enchanted Portraits series — a collection of elegant cross-stitch portraits created in a smaller, refined format.
Adorned with a velvet mask, sparkling jewels, and a rose nestled among delicate feathers, Fiora brings the timeless elegance of Venetian masquerades to life. Mysterious yet graceful, she seems to drift through candlelit ballrooms, leaving behind only whispers of perfume, silk, and roses.
Rich colors, refined details, and a touch of old-world romance make Fiora a beautiful choice for stitchers who love elegant ladies, masquerade themes, and small designs with a couture feel.

Kreinik substitutions:
DMC Metallic: Use 2 strands for cross stitch and 1 strand for backstitch.
Kreinik 024 #4 VFB - DMC E718
Kreinik 9294 #4 VFB - DMC E211
These substitutions are provided as the closest available matches to the original Kreinik colors. While chosen with care to preserve the intended look and sparkle, slight variations in tone and finish may occur due to the different fiber composition and color range of DMC Étoile threads. The final stitched result may therefore appear subtly different from the mock-up — but will remain every bit as beautiful and luminous in its own way. ✨
