Colored Pencils on Kraft

Darnell is back with a super duper NBUS celebration!  The first week's challenge is to use colored pencils on kraft.  I own a few good quality pencils & I have plain & metallic cheap sets. Most of you know, I don't do much coloring--although I do love using the Zig Clean Color brush markers. PTI Botanical Blocks IV called to me the first day I saw it, but it didn't get opened last year.  
I needed something not difficult to color & decided to try the holly block. The sentiment is from the same set & everything is stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia.  Actually, it was fun to do some simple coloring & came out good enough to post, I think--haha!  
Didn't want to cover the colored pencils with glitter, but needed some pizzazz. Thought copper Perfect Pearls might be pretty & oh my goodness--it's so beautiful on kraft!  I'm also entering Christmas Card Challenges & Word Art Wednesday.  Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
