I used copic markers to color the stamped image. I'm still learning but I couldn't color the hair the way I wanted to and so I had to use coloring pencils. I wanted to go for a vintage look but somehow I didn't have the right copic colors and threw in some purple. I used distress inks around the image, added lace and ribbons. I saw this technique and wanted to give it a try. This card took much more time than I had anticipated. I think it was mostly because I didn't have the right colors and I really didn't know exactly how "vintage" I wanted to go with this card. But over-all, it turned out okay. I think, I might give it another shot and try for round two here.
