Here is a card that I made for Jen del Muro's Sketch For You To Try.
It used my new set Pun Fun from Stampin' Up! Each critter was stamped in Palette Noir Black ink onto Papertrey Stamper's Select cardstock and then colored with Prismacolor Pencils then blended with gamsol and a stump. This is a technique that I have not mastered, but love so much. Each critter was cut out using Spellbinders Nestabilites, circles and squares. Sentiment is from It's Your Birthday (SU!).
Here is a close-up of the card. I popped the critter's heads up on dimensionals. I also added dazzling diamonds to the balloon, flower and heart with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen.
The pretty in pink layer is embossed with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder.
I added some piercing to the bashful blue corners with the mat pack and piercing tool. The ribbon is the bashful blue striped grosgrain.
Well, thanks for stopping by!

This is a gorgeous card. Just beautiful. I can't seem to my prisma color pencils to do what you did. I must be doing something wrong.
Just beautiful
