Embossed Goldfish
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: bensarmom

 Our challenge was to use goldfish for a card. I printed this goldfish out and colored it with watercolor pencils then blended with a blender pen. I added touches of gold pen on the main body. I added Wink of Stella to the whole fish. I used versamark on a stencil over my designer series paper and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
I added a wobbler to the back of the fish and added that to the card front. I wrote Keep Swimming with black fine line marker. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

The shimmer on your goldfish is wonderful, and the watercolor pencil blending gives it such soft, natural movement. The gold stenciling over the designer paper adds a beautiful glow that ties everything together without overwhelming the clean layout. The little wobbler is a perfect playful touch, especially paired with your hand‑lettered sentiment. This will bring a smile to someone who really needs it.

Your fish is spectacular. And my goodness, your handwriting is so neat and legible.
