This week its something a little different, a picture to use as inspiration. You can interperate the inspirational picture in any way you wish as it is there just for inspiration. Maybe you just want to use the colours or maybe the design or something totally off the wall it's your choice.

I cut a strip of card and coloured it with water pencils so I could blend it all together, I then hand drew some twigs with berries with sakura pens, added my topper which I mat and layered and then added flowers in the same pastel colours .
