It took me several tries to finally get this stencil design to work out. I used the embossing paste with brass stencil technique and kept trying to do it on a black background. Needless to say, I couldn't get the image to show up well, so I ended up with the white background.
The background uses the embossing resist technique.
I thought it turned out pretty well, considering that these techniques are new to me. Although, I think I would've added some black to the koi fish eyes. I'll probably look back at this card and say, "What was I thinking?".
