First play with Prismacolor Pencils with Make it Crafty

I had a lovely slightly belated Christmas present - a set of 120 Prismacolor pencils. 

Now I'm a marker girl at heart, but have been tempted to try pencils for a while & when this set popped up second hand on a selling site it seemed a good time.

I decided to use the lovely new Bridgette in Love from Make it Crafty as my first experiment. It certainly took a lot more concentration than when I'm colouring with my Copics & I've got a long way to go, but for a first attempt I'm pleased. 

I love the chipboard sentiments from Make it Crafty. I coloured this one with Copics, but decided it wasn't special enough. So I added purple Sakura Tiara pen and then several layers of purple Sakura Glaze pen. I love the glazed effect it gives. I left the holding supports attached to the dot of the 'i' because I liked the look of it. 

For a first attempt I'm really pleased with how she turned out. I need to keep on practisingm but I had fun. I hope you like her.
