December Birth Flowers Drop Cap Tutorial
We made it to the end of the year!
Twelve months of Birth Flower Drop Cap tutorials end with this whimsical and festive letter D illustration tutorial. Thank you so much for joining me on this year-long creative journey!
The video tutorial is shy of 30 minutes long, and you may likely need to press pause along the way. You can expect this project to take you about 45 minutes to complete.

So amazing for Christmas 🎅! Your nails are lovely also!!
Sad we are done but super duper excited to complete your newest class and obviously do this one too! I don’t want to go too fast. This needs to last till your next release and since it’s holiday season you definitely earned a good break!!
Happy Holidays!
Thank you for all the xtra tutorials you’ve shared with us this year!!

Thanks again, Nicole! 🙂 My nails are Color Street french tips. I love their nail stickers. So easy to use and they last longer than anything else. A close second is the Olive & June polishes. If I have time to paint and let dry, those are my go-to for nails. Happy Holidays to you as well!
I haven’t tried the Olive and June polishes yet. I have seen the beautiful sets I hope to buy in future. I haven’t heard if they watermarble well yet so I’m still investigating that aspect. Since I learned how to create watermarble nails I have been buying polishes that watermarble well. Some polishes just don’t work well at all. Since I have about + 550 polishes (been about 8 years since I started that addiction) I buy for stamping nail art or watermarble nails. It helps keep my polish total from going way too high.
Happy Holidays again! Much closer now!
Can’t wait for what comes next for lettering! I’ve been holding off completing the G from the course because I’m so sad it’s come to end. I may have to redo all your tutorials. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
