Color Layering Koi Art Journal/Calendar page on a2z

Hello,

I think the best way to finishing off the month is to prepare for the next one.  :)  Yes I am sharing my February's Art Journal/Calendar pages on a2z Scrapbooking Supplies.

I used the Hero Arts Color Layering Koi for my pages and my reason is this.  Chinese New Year (also known as Lunar New Year) falls on the 5th of February this year and Fish is a symbol we often used in Chinese New Year decoration.  Because the word Fish in Chinese sounds the same as the word Surplus or Excess, we often wish other 'having surplus every year'.  And we always serve a fish dish in the Chinese New Year dinner.

Alright story aside, here's my project.

I cut myself a wavy mask/stencil and applied Tumbled Glass ink using inking tool for the 'water'.  Then I stamped the Koi, the waterlilies around the lined area in various inks including some Glimmer Metallic Gold ink (on the red fish).

I am linking up to these challenge:
