Nicole's Graduation card

Hi there! I've been kinda MIA. I haven't been feeling well and have been having tests. I'll be fine, tho.
My cousin Nicole is having her belated grad party/birthday party tomorrow night. I needed to make her a card so I picked up this cute Mo's Digital Pencil image and colored her in Nicole's school colors.

How in the H.E. double hockey sticks do you color THIS hair? I was at a loss but didn't feel like looking up a tutorial so I winged it!! I wish it came out a little better but I'm sure Nicole won't be scrutinizing the coloring. Over all it's a cute card, IRL.
The sentiment is from a Flourishes Grad Stamp set. Since I used "unlock your future" I HAD to add a little key, right? Can you see it? Don't know the paper manufacturer but it's from Mike's or Joanne's.

The rest is pretty self-explanatory. :) I still haven't figured out how to add my new watermark I bought from Karen Giron. I use Picasa right now for photo-editing but have downloaded GIMP but can't figure it out yet.
This card only fits a couple challenges that are out this week.
Have a great day, peeps!
