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.

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