CD Sunday Challenge - Artfully Asian


I have used one of the lovely backing papers on JS Ivory Cats CD as my colour inspiration for this weeks challenge. This is definately Joanna Sheen's best ever.


The main image is by Elusive Images of a koi carp which I have embossed in blue onto acetate and coloured the fish with Sakura glaze pens. I used a couple of light coloured alcohol inks to colour the water on the reverse side. It is mounted onto white pearlescent card with dragonfly brads and edged with a gold pen.


It is mounted onto a dull gold base card and finished off with a metal coin and ribbon in the same shade.
Thanks very much for dropping by and please leave a comment!

  1. Janet, thanks for the visit to my blog and the lovely comments you left. Your latest piece here, the challenge of which I am not familiar, is positively awesome. I love the carp on the blue background. Wow! The contrast is gorgeous. And the dragonfly brads! I am so jealous. I love dragonflies and have never seen these brads before. Beautiful creation.
