Something Fishy

My father-out-law (and his wife)  is a koi carp enthusiast and so I'm forever trying to come up with new koi related card ideas!  It's his birthday next week and this year, I've stamped the carp onto metal foil, using dark brown Staz-on, embossed the metal by hand and cut it out. I machine embossed some dark green cardstock (Tim Holtz folder? ) as a background.
I'd like to enter this for the following challenges:
Dream Valley Challenges Just for men.
