TIMELESS KOI

Hello!

I really love having backgrounds in my folder to choose from when I don't feel like getting messy to make a card. 

Story Time:  This is among one of the first wood mounted images I bought; I found it in a zoo gift shop, I think as a boxed set of three.  But I moved a few times since and that original stamp is still in questionable storage that hasn't been accessed yet.  So when I saw this for sale online I bought it AGAIN!  Some images are just timeless and really draw you in.  I think if you appreciate them so much initially it's likely you will not tire of them long term.

TECHNIQUES

faux watercolor  (background)

basic stamping  (fish*, sentiment)

glossy accents  (fish)

alcohol markers  (fish)

liquid sparkle medium (rectangle)

flat back gems

foam mounting  (sentiment)

*fish/rectangle image was stamped once on background and once on white card stock and then colored and cut out to place over the background. I edged the cut out white image with a black marker to help it blend into the background, and then covered it with Glossy Accents.
