Just Magnolia and Hanglar

Hi everyone, A quick post here as I am so late getting this one in for the sketch challenge for Just Magnolia and Hanglar.
I received this image yesterday from Gurlee Girl craft store, it was the sponsor for the CLP blog hop which I won. I got 3 Magnolias and just had to colour this one straight away.
I am using Prismacolor pencils at the moment and coming to grips with this colouring style. My biggest difficulty is in knowing which colours to put together. I think maybe this one is one of the better ones. What do you think?

Bazzill cardstock, Stampin Up DP and ribbon, flowers from stash. Mat for image is a Nellie Snellen frame.

Hope you like. Thanks so much for visiting.
