Going crazy... Sheet Effect, Dark On the Inside, Chewy on the outside...

Ok. So you can see by my topic title I'm going a little off my rocker. Here's what I'm trying to do...

I have a contour in the shape of a circle that sit's under a forrest.
This is supposed to be a dark forrest.
The contour color is a grey color.
I want to add a glow or something that centers a black spot in the middle of my contour and then fades to the grey of the contour it self.

So. 1 contour, looking for an effect that puts a pure black spot in the middle of the contour and then blurs out to the natural color of the contour it self... any help would be greatly appriciated.

In the end I gave up and just added another sheet. Added a dark landmass on the new sheet and blurred it in at the center of the forrest. Just wish there was a way to have just made a dark center via a blur. Oh well. this works.

You can't make a dark center via a blur/glow. Creating a new sheet is the way to go. Instead of using a Blur, you can put a copy of your forest background on the new sheet, make it Black and use a Edge Fade Inner effect.
