Let me share an idea for drawing flowers using a ballpoint pen and colored pencils.
You’ll need a black ballpoint pen and colored pencils.
First, use the ballpoint pen to draw the outlines of the flowers and leaves.
Next, color them in with your favorite colored pencils.
Finally, add a message, and it’s complete! What’s unique about this idea is writing a message as a thank-you note.
Colored pencils are great because they create a colorful yet gentle look.
Give it a try!

These unique illustrations are so cute! Here are some ideas for turning letters into illustrations.
You’ll need thick paper or a message card, dot markers in your favorite colors, and a ballpoint pen.
Some of you might be tired of turning flowers or animal motifs into illustrations.
In that case, why not try turning letters into illustrations? This time, the message “Congratulations on graduating from kindergarten” is given expressions and arranged to look as if the characters are holding hands.
The decorations with stars and hearts also make the illustrations feel friendly and approachable.

balloon

Here’s an illustration idea with hot air balloons that evokes a bright future after graduation from kindergarten.
For example, how about drawing a vivid balloon with characters riding in it? The characters could be the children who are graduating, which would be lovely, or you could use stylized animals instead.
It’s also recommended to set a blue sky as the background and add softly floating clouds.
Aim for a vibrant illustration that instantly lifts the viewer’s spirits.
Roses painted with wet-on-wet (bleeding) technique

Let’s try using brush pens! Here are some ideas for painting roses with a bleeding watercolor effect.
What you’ll need: white thick paper or a message card, an oil-based pen, water, a red brush pen, pink and orange brush pens, a green brush pen, and water.
Some people might think illustrations done with brush pens are difficult, but this idea is recommended because you can simply add color using water and colored brush pens! Drawing roses like a spiral feels fresh and fun, too.
Give it a try!
Stylish Nordic-style floral decorative frame

Here are two ideas for floral decorative frames that will instantly brighten up a plain message card.
The first is a design with a bouquet drawn in the lower left corner, using a longer ribbon that extends to form the frame.
The second idea is to draw flowers and leaves along the edge of the card to create a square border.
For both, start by sketching the petals and leaves, then add flower centers and leaf veins with a fine black pen.
Using a black pen to render the delicate details tightens the illustration and gives it a refined, stylish finish.
Graduation corsage (for preschool/kindergarten)
Large corsages adorning the chests of children at their graduation ceremony.
Illustrations of corsages, a motif that symbolizes celebration, are perfect for kindergarten graduation albums and congratulatory message cards.
We recommend writing messages from teachers to the graduating children, or words of congratulations from parents, on the ribbon part beneath the flowers.
Why not infuse your congratulations into an illustrated corsage and gently add it to an album or message card?
