I wanted to share my process on how I make my backgrounds, in case they help (^^)
Choose a reference ( I usually go with Pinterest )
Sketch, Trace, Photo bash, etc.? It's okay to use whatever method, just be sure you give credit where it's due. For example, I traced this image so I make sure to be transparent about it & mention it as a reference. But I digitally watercolored it to my preference so it's more my style. Use whatever tools you want, just be kind and honest about it 😊💕✨
Reduce your colors at first- you can get multiple ranges from just one color. So I recommend choosing 3 at most when you're getting started ✨
