Leaves: Basecoat each leaf with Bayberry, then shade with Mystic Green. Stems are Sap Green.
Wild Roses: Float Berry Wine around edges keeping center lighter. When dry, shade center with Huckleberry, walk it out slightly. Centers will be done last. Shade behind each blossum where it covers the leaf with Sap Green.
Daisies: Single stroke basing each petal with Yellow Ochre. Dry, then go over those strokes with Medium Yellow and a touch of Warm White. Dry, then repeat with more Warm White the last time + touch of Med. Yellow. Centers will be done last.
Bachelor Buttons: Base each petal with Blue Ribbon + a touch of Warm White. Each flower has 5 petals so seperate them slightly. Feather out the outer edges. With a small round brush, pounce in the centers using Med Yellow with a touch of Warm White.
Centers of other flowers: Using a stippler brush, pounce the center of the wild roses with Med Yellow and a touch of Warm white. For the large daisy, pounce Nutmet with a touch of Med Yellow + Warm White. When dry, float a very light touch of Raw Umber at the base of each flower center.
Lettering: Sap Green (choose your own saying) I used "Forever in our Hearts"
