8. Let’s start blending. Starting with the main succulent – use Mint Macaron Light, color the whole flower, then come in with the Mint Macaron Dark & and mark the lines, then come back in with the light to blend. Then come  Rich Razzleberry Dark & color all the borders. Take Purple Posy light & blend. Repeat process for each succulent using colors of choice listed above.
9. Once all colored, add your Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to entire image.
