Elegant Koi
by Nancy Penir
Greetings, my Poppy friends! I have a thing for koi. Oh yes, big time! My DH built me a koi pond so that I could watch them. We started with 5, and have been blessed with offspring. We have nearly 30 now! Take a peek...
They're truly elegant creatures, that inspired my card.
My Elegant Koi card began with treating the base with Distress Oxide Inks, and sprinkling water and ink for a watery effect.
I also cut my koi several times from shimmer cardstock.
I think a beautiful koi makes a dramatic statement on a simple 'hello' card, don't you?
Hope you liked my post today. And hope you have a wonderful day of crafting!

Your card is BEAUTIFUL, Nancy! LUCKY YOU to have a pond of these WONDERFUL FISH! The colors you chose for your fish are SO PRETTY! LOVE the metallic on them, the way you wove the fish tail through the frame & just the little scene you created for him! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! ;)
