Self Discovery

Ok, so this week's challenge over at Make It Colourful is to create an original project featuring smooth gradients.  Guess what...... I just discovered that I see the world in ultra high contrast, so this one was oh-so-tough for me. I worked VERY hard on this project to really blend and keep lines smooth.... yah, REALLY tough!  But overall, I'm pretty proud of this one!!!!  I used WAY MORE Copic markers than I'm used to and in more consecutive sequencing than I typically do... no jumping four and five shades, well, not too much... OK, I DID A LOT OF JUMPING, hahahahahhaha!   WHAT!?!  I told you it was tough!!!

So here we go:  Stamps I used were Summer Fairy from The Greeting Farm and Make It Crafty's Forest Flower.  The Copic markers I used were:  E35, E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E49, E50, E51, R46, Y0000, Y26, YG03, YG63, YG93, YG97, YR12, YR14, YR15, W00, W0,W3, W5

Welp, that about does it for this one.  Good luck to everyone entering this week.  This is definitely not an easy one if your vision is skewed like mine!  Apparently I live closer to the sun than everyone else and everything is either light or dark!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Click HERE for more info on this week's challenge over at Make It Colourful and to see what the rest of the design team whipped up!
