Prismacolor Pencils on Craft

I spent some time yesterday to color the Scene from La-La Land Crafts with Mod Marci, Suitcase, Tuffy (dog) and postage stamps.  This is the same Digi Scene that I used on this card.  

This time I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils instead of Copics.  I added grass and flowers with pencils to complete the scene.  I am really amazed at the results that can be achieved!
