Pro Tips
Take your time with the gradient for a smooth blend; practice on a piece of paper if needed.
For more control, use a smaller detail brush for intricate designs.
Allow each layer to dry completely to prevent smudging the design.
Experiment with different shades of purple for a personalized look.
