Rocker Girl card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi guys,

This image is from The Paper Shelter, I thought I'd colour her up in Halloween colours as she looks a little rocker girl/goth looking. I used some Lawn Fawn frame dies and the larger "white" lines are white ribbon. I doodled the black outlines around the image and around the black cardstock. As you can see below, I've coloured up this image below years ago, I think my Copic colouring has improved a little since then, I enjoy comparing when it's something I've coloured before.
