Here is the fish that prompted my card today. http://www.huset-shop.com/almedahls-...wel-p-989.html.
Image was reversed so I could use the flat edge of the fin against the fold to make this a shaped card. It was colored with Copics and run through the cuttlebug in an embossing folder.

What a super fish! I really like yours better. You have done a beautiful job giving it shape and life with your exquisite coloring! I like what I would call, the "reverse side of embossing", for his scales.

OMG - before I started collecting stamps and cardstock, my passion was collecting fish. Any size, shape, color and medium. This one would have found a permanent home in my "aquarium" - it is incredible! LOVE your coloring and shading, and what a stroke of genius to emboss your image. LOVE, love, love it!
Thanks for the heads up on a 'new to me' digital store.
