This week at Make It Colourful our challenge it to make Smooth Gradients. Basically going from a light to dark without seeing a transition line. I use Copics and I find this best achieved when I start with my lightest color, laying down a base and then gradually going darker and then back to my lightest blending all over with the lightest to smooth out any lines.
For my card, I finally used Tree of Love from Make It Crafty - I just adore this tree and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to pair it with OA- Little Dreamer by The Greeting Farm. I just imagine Amelia sitting under a tree on a beautiful day thinking and dreaming about what she wants to be when she grows up! My favorite papers from October Afternoon seemed to be perfect for this little scene.
I hope you will join us this week! I just love seeing your projects - and all the different mediums of coloring being used is so inspiring.
Challenges I'm entering:
