Blendabilities Blended Bloom

So I jumped on the HUGE bandwagon of Stampin' Up's new Blendabilities alcohol markers.  I have never bought Copics because that level of attention to detail and the high price tag were not very appealing.  THESE markers are SUPER affordable though.  I think it was $11.95 for a pack of 3, so I regret that I didn't also buy more colors at the same time!  I did find that coloring this massive flower got a little tedious since you have to do it petal by petal, and it's not perfect, but I was happy with it for my first go.  I'm really excited to try these markers on some other (smaller) stamps.  :)  I'm not sure if there's a way to make the design a little more original?  My flower looks exactly like many many many projects out there, but I'll play around and see what I come up with. I would TOTALLY recommend these markers.  Especially to people like myself who don't see themselves on the Copic wagon.  I guess we'll start our own wagon, huh?  :)
