Mother's Day is this coming Sunday, May 9th here in the US, so this week, we're making something for Mom ;) If you celebrate the holiday at a different time, you can adjust this design easily for any birthday or celebratory occasion, too!

From this beginner friendly tutorial, you'll learn how to:

✨ Use rotational quadrant symmetry to speed up your process
✨ Turn symmetry on and off to add in 'one off' elements
✨ Use multiple layers to build up color + details
✨ Create texture variety by using multiple brushes
✨ Use it as a border, wreath and masked within lettering/text!

Grab the free color palette and brushes above to get started!
