The bg is PTI's wood grain impression plate, the CS, used on the reverse side and inked with white, reminds me of ripples on water. The fish die cut was watercolored, Perfect Pearls added with a brush, and then coated with a clear heat embossed finish.

Wow! That fish looks as though he will swim right off the page. Your coloring has created something very life-like and textured. And, your simple blue panel has just the right touch to create the rippling water. Funny you used a woodgrain stamp to do that.
