Not sure what stumpwork is?  Stumpwork or raised work is a style of embroidery where the stitches are raised of the workpiece to create a dimensional effect to the embroidery work.  Stumpwork embroidery can also use wire, to create added effects, such as dimensional leaves, butterfly wings and more.
