Love is in the Air from PpinkydollsArt

This was not an easy challenge for me. I usually use 4 colors to blend and get the contrast I like. The twist for Twisted Thursday this week over at The Outlawz, is "triple play" and use ONLY three colors. Now, I decided to take this quite literally and chose only three Copic markers. I'm sure I could have used different intensities of each color, but I decided to challenge myself to really stick with only the three markers. I used a light blue, medium yellow and olive. For depth, I simply went over some areas several times. I chose the same colors for the background color (Broken China Dystress Ink) and papers. Even the bow is olive.
The image is Love is in the Air and comes from our sponsor Ppinkdolls.

    You sure challenged yourself, Jean, but I think you worked your magic using 3 of your pens only. Beautiful shading and design.

      Thank you, Pia. I was kind of amazed myself at what could be done with only three markers!

      Thank you, Pat. Only three layers. I was lucky to find ribbon that matched one of my three colors :)

      Thanks, Janet. I was surprised at how much can be done with three markers. Usually I use a whole bucket full!
