Next week is my Moms birthday and since I can remember she's grown sweet peas from seed every year, of course I always get a little posy which smells absolutely amazing.
I bought Altenew's Sweetest Peas stamp set awhile ago but I find them very stylised and I wanted a more natural and delicate looking flower so I decided on a no line watercolouring.
I stamped the image in very pale pink and green then used my Kuretake pens to colour them in.
I couldn't resist adding a touch of Wink to the center of the flowers, the sentiment is from Avery Elle.
