Sparkle Sparkle Making Poppies Pop!

I am playing again and isn’t it fun! I am adding a little bling to my image today with atyou Spica pens on top of my coloring. I started with a beautiful image from Day For Daisies:

1 – I used Y17, YR14, YR18, R24, R29, R59 to color the bloom.

2 – Then I tested on a scrap the effect I was going for. I decided on 3 atyou Spica pens in Gold, Black and Garnet.

3 – I added the atyou Spica right on top of my Copic coloring when the ink was dry. This photo is taken at an angle so you can see the beautiful shimmer. Spica pens are made with very fine glass so the shimmer effect is super settle and absolutely stunning.

4 – I finished coloring the flowers and then added the vines and a background that fades to white. (G94, B000)

5 – And of course added the sparkle on all the flowers.
