Pencil on black card stock

I'm on a roll with my pencil work, this time I thought why not work on black rather than Kraft. 
This is what I came up with. The Christmas stars is from a JOFY set, I stamped in white and coloured the stars and circles using pencils. I added some gold and silver pencils to add some sparkle. I inlaid the JOY with silver glitter card stock. The black is layered on silver glitter and then popped up on black foam. 


 I added a few more tiny circles with some Viva Decor glitter pen (Hologram), you can just see them in this photo.


I'm entering this for the following chellenges

I’m working on pencil coloring too! The last project was on gray and my current project is on black. So far mine’s not as vibrant... great pencil work! And there’s that beautiful stamp again. Love it. xx
