Hello friends!

Here's how I created it!

Step 1 - Create Your Background

You can follow the "smooshing" technique I did HERE. I also did the same technique for the floral portion. The Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens are going to become your best friend for this technique!

Step 2 - Stamp and Color Your Images

Once again I stamped using the Nuvo Hybrid Ink in Black Shadow. I like to play surgeon with my stamps sometimes and cut them apart into two pieces. For the flower, you can see that I cut the "water" portion off. I can still use them together or separately - easy peasy! I used the sentiment from "A Big Thanks". I inked it up with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Madagascar Green Embossing Powder.

Around the edges of the background, I used the second flower to stamp in Versamark Ink and heat set with Clear Detail embossing powder. It added a little extra dimension to the background.

Step 3 - Build Your Scene!

I arranged the Koi,flowers and sentiment onto the card front. For the background, I added a border of 1/2"Tear-ific Tape and added Baby Blue Embossing Powder (heat setting). A few spashes of the Aqua Flow were sprinkled onto the card.

Step 4 - Sentiment and Finishing Touches

I added "bubbles", using the Nuvo Crystal Drops in Morning Dew. I also added some drops of Aquatic Mist Glitter Drops. I added Luau Green Glitter to the flower as well. Everything needs a little sparkle ;)
