Barbara gave us some neat colors today. They looked masculine to my eye. Needed to make my son-in-law a birthday card, so printed this digi. Colored with watercolored pencils, and highlighted with a blue copic and white pencil. I had this printed from a week ago when doing a flower on the designer paper. You really can color on it with watercolor as long a you don't over wet with water. Added some sponging and score lines. Thanks for looking.

This is fabulous! The colors looked somewhat masculine to me as well but I managed to make a not so masculine card out of them. I like that you have flies on your card even if they are not butterflies! lol

This is a terrific image for a fisherman (I am definitely getting this for my fly fishing husband)! Using the patterned paper is a great idea, adding those subtle elements to the background. Wonderful coloring on this gorgeous card!
