| Step | What to Do | Where to Apply | Color Purpose | Color Palette |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Base Color | Give your flower a soft spring hug! Fill the entire flower evenly with the light pink. Keep your coloring smooth and consistent. | Cover the whole flower petals, following the shape of each petal. Leave the dark outline untouched. | Creates the main petal color and gives you a soft foundation to build on. |

| 2. Add Shading | Make those pretty petals pop! Use the medium and darker pinks to create soft shadow areas. Start lightly and gradually build up the color. | Focus on the bottom edges of the petals, areas where petals overlap, inner curves, and around the flower center. | Makes the petals look rounded, soft, layered, and dimensional. |

Add small curved lines, delicate petal marks, and playful texture details. | Place short curved strokes mainly along the inner portions of the petals, with a few gentle details near the flower center. | Adds texture, personality, and a cute handmade feel to your flower. |
