Penciled Roses

Dear Ones~
The Super Bowl is on....who will win? I have no preference, but I hope it's either The Broncos or the Panthers.... *wink wink*. Okay, that was a stupid joke.

Today's card has been made for the Power Poppy Blog Challenge. We are asked to pull out a coloring medium that we don't use very often. For me that's colored pencils. And I have to say that I had so much fun coloring this image that I can't wait to color something else.

Here's my card:

This is a digi stamp from Power Poppy that I recently purchased and had not used yet. I typically don't really like digis, but since Himself got me the laser printer for Christmas I'm a little happier to use the digis once in awhile. I am trying to take photos that aren't so bright. The pinks in this are not nearly as neon as they appear, don't know why the camera captures these colors in that way. I colored this with my Prismacolor Pencils....they are THE BOMB!!! Very creamy and easy to blend. I didn't even use OMS here, just the pencils.

Here are the Ingredients:
GKD White Heavy Weight Card Stock
Power Poppy Everything's Rosy Digital Stamp
Prismacolor Colored Pencils
GKD Fanciful Tags Stamp for Greeting
GKD Innocent Pink Ink
Judy Dots

Thanks for stopping by. It seems I have been posting a lot lately....guess I'm on a roll. Oh, and I adore your comments!!
