Linda’s Elf was so amazing when she showed it to me on Skype last week…but I really couldn’t wait to see the picture of it! She can do some pretty fancy work with those copics and it blows me away every time!! Gorjuss work ladies!
Thanks again Mary for inviting me! I can never say enough great things about this blog and I am tickled pink to be a part of it today!
Eeeeeeek . I LOVE Victoria Case stuff. This was a tough one. But I needed the practice! THANK YOU for the chance to win.
Thanks for the challenge. I had fun, but I can definitely see that I need to work on the blending part a LOT more!
Thanks for the great challenge. I’ve never tried this technique before and it’s very hard to do but I love the effect so will keep trying. Practice, Practice, Practice. I love Victoria Case and Susana’s Custom Art is a great place to shop. Thanks for the chance to win.
wow I’ve never seen this technique before and couldn’t wait to give it a go, the examples here are gorgeous and the tutorials so easy to follow.
Thanks loads, something I’ll be doing more of!

Fun challenge. I had never heard of feather blending before and I tried it with the few copics I have on Mer Ian’s fishtail.
I’m sorry. This is the right link…
Great challenge! I’ve tried to do this before so am lovin’ the tutorials.
My apologies, but I mistakenly entered the same card twice. #29 is not valid.
THANKS!
Denise
This is my first time entering the challenges, thanks for offering them!

I’ve alot to learn

I am glad that the number is random, because boy do I need to work at this. My first time playing in a long time. I seem to get cards done and not posted in time to play. Thanks for a fantastic challenge blog 🙂
This was a very interesting technique and I’m very satisfied with my first attempt! Thanks for introducing me to something that will broaden my coloring capabilities! And I’ll just freak out if I actually get drawn as the winner! I adore the design team samples! They gave me some great ideas!
Challenging challenge!
I may have got my entry in on time – I found this real hard and scrapped quite a few trys I kinda managed it with her hair and partly in her dress but must admit chickened out in end and used blendable colours.
Hope it doesnt disqualify me cause I sure would love to win.

Mr. Linky won’t come up for me. 😦 Here’s my card:

Ok kept trying as the DT’s projects all look so awesome, and have been a bit braver and used contrasting colours.
Fingers crossed
