Fuzzy Colors with a twist

I enjoy using my stipples brushes so I have them handy at all times. Stipple brushes come in all sizes and shapes from kids' versions to artist grade. I have them all! I can say it enough, "Stipple brushes are a stamper's best friend!" They are good for techniques like Fuzzy colors, adding a touch of color and best of all hiding smudges.

Now what I did different here from my normal Fuzzy Colors technique. I call this
