Set Me free

Morning and my card today is using a digi which was designed and drawn by my son for a tattoo(he is a self taught tattooist with his own studio)-I coloured it with watercolours and added glossy accents to the light bulb and butterfly--distress inks round all edges and butteflies cut from paper in stash.
The B.paper was made putting flowers and leaves through big shot between 2 sheets of watercolour paper and both pieces matted onto black cardstock.
UPDATE-Just changed photo as this morning the glossy accent over the watercolour has created a crackle effect--happy accident/discovery???

    My goodness, what a talented family. I love this image, you should talk to your son about setting up a small on-line digi stamp business, so the rest of us can access to his work

    As always, your colouring is gorgeous and this backing paper looks fabulous and is a perfect colour match.

    PS The crackle effecct looks good, doesn't it?

    Wow, it seems talent runs in the family! What an amazing drawing by your son, and you really accented it well with the back paper and that layered butterfly! Love a happy accident, the crackle works perfectly on this design!!

    Apparently it's supposed to cool off and even rain next week. I sure hope they're right about that, we could really use a break from the crazy!! lol. Have a wonderful weekend! hugs :)
