Hi there!! The week sure flew by!! It’s time for me to share some inspiration for the Ching-Chou Kuik Facebook Challenge. Our theme this month is “Fun In the Sun/Under the Sea/By the Sea”. For this card, I went with the Under the Sea theme, and used the beautiful Koi image, and colored her up with my Copics.
I picked the paper before coloring, and it was a real challenge to get the image to coordinate with the background without it all blending together in a vibrant mix of colors!!! The white matting of the image really made the difference! I didnt want to add too much to the card, as the colors, paper print and detailed image were enough going on!!! I die cut a border, that showed the white matting through it, then cut a sentiment. It still didnt look done, so I messed around with a number of embellishments that just didn’t work, before using the die as a stencil and making a accent on either side of the image. The simplicity of the card lets it shine….quite literally, lol. Oh, and bonus….flat for easy mailing!!!
