How to achieve this look?

Was wondering if someone could point me to a tutorial for where to learn how to achieve this embroidery-look design. I know there are some brushes than can give an effect, but the layering in the roses is throwing me.

Does this have to be done in Illustrator? Much of this look reminds me of the Oil Paint filter in Photoshop.

A vector file with this much detail, to keep the realistic look, might be a bit complex for most systems. As Michael mentioned, the Oil Paint Filter in Photoshop would be a possible solution—as well as the Live Oil Paint Brushes in Fresco or by using Substance Painter and Substance Designer.

Wanted to mention that the effet you are looking to use only looks good at large scale size. For example on most consumer packaging design we can never use on for example a candy wrapper, but on a large pet food bag yes. Basically the brain/eyes will not register the effect unless is large enough to see the brush details.

I've been searching for this exact thing! Oil filter gets close, but not quite!
