I kept her landscape format, but my ripples looked more on top of the water than center and the first try proved a fish looked out of water. I therefore stamped ripples on either side of center and added droplets falling from the airborne. I covered the larger center ripple with my sentiment. I rather wish I had stamped the word balance with teal ink rather than introducing black, so I added black marker to the eyes.
Gayle, this is a great case of Leslie's card. I love the koi and water on the all white background. The balance sentiment is so perfect on this clean and simple design. Wonderful!
