I started this coloring from Transcend with no color plan at all, but it wasn’t long before it started reminding of dainty little tea cakes.

Perhaps it’s the way that the outer part of the design looks like frosting swirls – but every color I pick is making me think of buttercream frosting. (Yum!)

Of course, this calls for a nice cup of tea.

I enjoy the way that a color here and a color there can point you off in an unexpected direction. My tea and cake colors are combining flashes of memory and bits of imagination – creating a quiet dessert break from paper and marker ink. The line work in this design seems to be guiding me toward color choices that I don’t usually use and it all makes for such a pleasant and relaxing coloring. Best not to rush this one. 🙂

Today’s coloring is from Transcend (Angie’s Extreme Stress Menders – Volume 4), colored with Copic Sketch markers.
