This was a hard colour challenge for me- I'm not great with pastels and have never been the biggest fan of gray. Just using it for the ink I think really works- it is softer than using black when using soft subtles. I do like the finished product but next time I would probably use DSP for the manhattan flowers just to soften the whole thing up.
I used the shimmer paint on this to give it some shine- LOVE IT! It's super easy to apply with a little paint brush
