I love Asian influenced art. I always have. Even when I was VERY young, I collected Asian coins, created screens for my room and had bamboo mats EVERYWHERE! I think it was the RED in everything...I'm nuts about RED! (This also fits the Red Divas Challenge...)
The images and sentiment were embossed in gold and hand cut. The koi were colored with Copics. The big flowers are brass, and were sponged with Palette Hybrid inks. I had to heat set them, but I LOVE the effect! The small flowers are studs! The coin is an antique I've had for MANY years!

Fantastic Asian card. I too find myself drawn to their art. Maybe it does have something to do with the beautiful colors. You have outdone yourself today Faith. TFS!

How cool is this card! Wow, you spent some time on this one and it really, really shows. I am guessing Speedy really likes those fish - they are so cool looking. You did a great job.
