After stamping the koi fish image in memento tuxedo black onto scrap Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Arts pencils before stippling Tim Holtz broken china, spiced marmalade and tumbled glass distress inks around it using my Picket Fence blending brushes then layered onto a punched scallop scrap. I then dusted off my hand held rectangle punch and made a hole in the top of the layers before adding two snippets of scrap ribbon. Then, taking a white gel pen, I added dots to the scalloped "parts" before setting aside to dry. My card has a dry embossed layer with memento pear tart and summer sky ink rubbed over the embossed images. I then added the scalloped koi tag using pop dots before stamping my saying from another retired Stampin Up set called Hope For Comfort. The final touch was adding a few gems from my Crafty Meraki sparkle green illusion bling pack. There's also two tiny gems from the pack added to the koi fish eyes.
