Happy super duper belated birthday EevaLeena!

I went through so many changes for your gift. I started off with a completely different scan but ended up getting bored and dropping it. O: I decided to browse for some other scan and decided to go with this one. I realized it was already done but I thought it was beautiful and too perfect.. I couldn`t resist! XD The vector went smoothly and I enjoyed vectoring Sakura. I replaced the simple cherry blossoms in the scan with some other flowers in found in a different scan. I had fun shading them. There was nothing too complicated there but then came the background. ADJKDSHDSD! I wanted to rip my hair out. I went through so many changes and nearly gave up. Flowers, windows, tiles, grass, and some other things I can`t remember. However, thanks to my Japanese teacher (weird, I know!) for showing the class what a traditional Japanese tea room looks like, I got an idea to try an tatami mat. It turned out to be the best looking result. I thought it woudn`t work but I was desperate. Afterwards, I realized I sucked at shadowing so ignore my shadows! I know some of them makes it look as if she`s floating but I really did try my best. Lastly, I added some gradients.
I know this isn`t good or anything but I hope you like it Reinaa! ((:
