Aurora for a 21st card

From the first moment I saw this image I loved it. I have not seen a bad rendition of this ever but I was still worried about doing it justice with my colouring skills. Well I will say I am deliriously happy with how it has turned out. 


 I decided that it needed to be shared so I turned it into a twisted easel 21st birthday card - yes the addiction continues, and here it is.

The East Wind Aurora, kasazz, DCWR, AmyRStamps,Hero Arts, impression obsessions, Elizabeth Crafts Designs, Cuttlebug, Papertey Ink.
