CAS Koi


The latest in my long-running series of koi- carp themed cards! That's because it is my partner's parents' big hobby and this is a birthday card for his step-father.

I used some watercolour paper I'd attempted a background technique on, stamped and gold-embossed the fish (Sheena Douglass)  on it , and cut it out. For the background , I used a Chinese script stamp by Oyster stamps.

I'd like to enter:

    That's what I love about a handmade card, it can be tailor made to fit the recipients perfectly. I think the layout is brilliant, the placement of the Chinese text is so clever and the golden carpe looks fantastic. Well done!

    Ooohhh, so nice to see another koi card in the gallery. It's a fab card for a guy, especially if the recipient is a real fan of these beautiful fish. Thanks for joining us in The Male Room
