Stenciled the water. On watercolor paper lightly stamped the fish and then watercolored them. Added accents with gold ink. Cut them out and glued them onto the bg.

I'm currently obsessed with watercoloring so I love, love, love the watercoloring on the koi fish. The stenciled background goes perfectly here. Your card is beautiful and it really inspires me to continue to work on my watercoloring skills!

This is beautiful, Sallie, and you always give me something new to learn. This time it's how well the red and yellow combine to make the perfect color for your koi fish!

Wow... your water colored fish look outstanding against your stenciled water! I would have never guessed the jagged edge had been created with gold ink, it looks like heat embossed. Beautiful design! TFS

Fabulous design! Love the koi fish on the stenciled water pond. The blue highlights your beautiful fish. The deckle edges with the gold trim looks amazing. Wonderful ideas for the challenge colors.
