Our new challenge at Inkspirational is to be inspired by the theme, 'gold -dipped' which has been chosen by Marlena.
For my DT card I used my big old koi stamp. I stamped it on black with orange Distress Oxide ink and then I heat-embossed the fish's extremities in gold. The base card was a ready-made foiled card, cut to size.
I hope you'll join in the challenge.

This is stunning Marina! That beautiful koi is definitely a statement piece worthy of gold!
Gorgeous and elegant with the gold and navy!
What a fun koi stamp... great technique to achieve the "gold dipped" effect! I like your color combo as well.

What a great tip for achieving different shades on an image, stamping with ink and only partly heat embossing the image. I haven’t tried using my oxide inks on dark colored paper yet, will have a go! Your card looks beautiful.
WOW! Your big ol' koi is stunning and sure to bring joy, as well as good luck, to the lucky person receiving it! Definitely striking!
