I finally settled on working the right side this month to finish up the stems and leaves there.
Once I finished them, I went ahead and started the flower. Even just the outline is really pretty.
I added the next lighter shade, and then started working on the next lighter still shade, and step by step it is coming to life. Once I finish this shade, there is one more lightest shade of delicate pink that will complete the flower petals. Then there are some green shades to be added to the center.
