Bunch of Koi

Hello Nomad friends.  I was playing with the patterned scraps and decided to try a bit of collage.    Ooh, pretty background.  Add a few fish and done!!!

I picked scraps in shades of green, orange and brown for an autumn feel and then I stamped Hero Arts Koi Bunch on yellow paper, coloured with Promarkers and white gel pen and fussy cut them.  I cut the collage background using a Daisy Mae tag die and added some orange and brown autumnal wool.  

Lots more bits in the box.  Might make some more of these backgrounds.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

What great use of all those offcuts Gail and the Koi look so realistic, used to have some just like that until a Labrador went for a swim and terrorised them to death!

Many thanks for sharing with us at We Love Stamping challenge.
