Rainbow Trout

Today is day 9 of September is Stamping Month and the theme is "Fish".  I have recently worn a fish manicure that I was soooo proud of, see Fish Fingers for that.  So, for this challenge, I really wanted to try something equally awesome.

I knew double stamping could be interesting, and that if I chose a really subtle simple pattern, I could stamp over it and blend a few colours together to add more depth.  I tried out several colour combinations before settling on this purple and teal variation.  My major criticism is that  I use sooooooo much polish when mixing colours on the image plate like this, and it feels really horribly wasteful :(
