I have been wanting to try my hand with coloring with colored pencils and finally gave it a whirl. Inspiration is from Yana Smakula's card using a black background.
Used my Prismacolors on the EH mondo poinsettias which were first embossed with gold. The sketch is from the new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches - turned the sketch on its side tho. Added some Nuvo gold drops, a glitter sentiment and mounted it on a white card base.
I am entering this in the Freshly Made Sketches #313 challenge and also CAS Mix-Up (glitter, stamping, embossing, die cut, pencil coloring).
Thanks for stopping by - love to read your kind comments.

Beautiful card Betty, works well for both challenges. I need to give that coloring on dark paper a try for sure.
