Romantic Retro Floral

If you follow me over on Instagram, you might have seen a sneak peek of my new patterns.  Today I'm sharing a new floral repeat pattern with a vintage vibe. I love creating hand-drawn botanicals in a romantic pastel palette. I tested it out on this print on a cocoon coat fashion illustration I drew. Looks warm and cozy to me.

This pattern is inspired by some of the things I like most about vintage fabric. I love the romantic color scheme and the hand-drawn element of layering and building up colors and depth with paint.
