A Brand New Start Card with Tombow

 I am sharing my "A Brand New Start" card using the Irojiten Color Pencils.
 To create the background of the card....
Color a piece of white card stock using INROJITEN Color Pencils. 
They are a premium colored pencil crafted with cedar wood and hard, dense lead. 
They are a strong pigment with vibrant pigment with crisp colors when blending colors.
Premium colored pencils crafted with cedar wood and hard, dense lead for precise details and sharp lines. Perfectly centered lead core is adhered throughout the wood casing for break resistant, evenly sharpened lead. Strong pigment for deep color saturation that stays crisp and vibrant when blending and layering. White enamel finish offers a comfortable, fatigue free surface when holding for long periods. Colored pencil eraser cleanly removes colored pencil markings and can be used to create highlights. Set includes 12 colored pencils, sharpener and colored pencil eraser. Available in two pre-sorted color selections – Vivid and Tranquil. - See more at: http://tombowusa.com/craft/pencils/irojiten-adult-coloring-set-tranquil.html#sthash.VF4uqjG0.dpuf
