I coloured this image with copics...I haven't used my copics for a bit so it was good to colour with them again. I actually used four different shades of yellow, four different shades of brown a three different shades of blue. I added some little splashes which I kind of regretted afterwards but I think it still turned out ok. I also added some sequins.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">challenges:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2023/08/sunflowers.html">Double D Challenges </a>- sunflowers</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://thecraftyaddicts.blogspot.com/2023/08/challenge-04.html">The Crafty Addicts</a> - anything goes</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://corrosivechallengesbyjanet.blogspot.com/2023/08/challenge-8-aug-2023-anything-goes.html">Corrosive Challenge</a> - anything goes</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://creativeinspirationchallenges.blogspot.com/2023/08/creative-inspiration-challenges-5.html">Creative Inspirations </a>- anything goes</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fi</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">x</div><br /><p></p>Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05923277799101440042noreply@blogger.com8
