Now it's time to decorate the flower head. I used pink acrylic paint and mixed a slightly darker shade to create the illusion of more depth in the cracks. If you want the color to be opaque, it may take several coats. If you want a more translucent look, try painting fewer coats. Feel free to use your own color combination or pattern. This is your chance to make a unique flower! Why not make stripes or polka-dots? or be inspired by nature!
