For the Crystal Ball and Stand:

• 20% Cool Grey
• 70% Cool Grey
• Gold

For the Aquamarine, Daisies, and Stars:

• Light Aqua
• 20% Cool Grey
• Sunburst Yellow
• Yellowed Orange
• Limepeel
• Pale Vermillion

Daisy Planner Pages

I’d like to try this page again with all white flowers, but for the sake of being colorful (as I did a lot of  “natural and neutral” color schemes last month…) I did the daisies up in pink, purple and blue!

Pencils used:

• Mulberry
• Violet
• Aquamarine
• Dark Green
• Sunburst Yellow
• Yellowed Orange
• Pale Vermillion

April Buttercup Calendar Spread

Aww!! This one was a happy surprise for me, I wasn’t sure how the colors would work out, but I absolutely loved watching it come together and the results make me smile. There’s a simple sweetness to it, yeah?! I think it’s the rainbow-ness of red, orange, yellow, green… and then the neutral grey for clear quartz rounds it out. Also, coloring the lone pansy was a joy, for some reason, using the black pencil was thrilling. Note to self: more pansies!

Pencils used:

• Silver
• 70% Warm Grey
• Canary Yellow
• Sunburst Yellow
• Yellowed Orange
• Crimson Red
• Poppy Red
• Pale Vermillion
• Black

• Cream
• Yellow Chartreuse
• Sunburst Yellow

For the Flowers:

• Violet
• Orange
• Spring Green
• Olive Green

• 70% Warm Grey
• Gold
