Here's one of the cards I will be doing for my Cuttlebug card class next month. It's four cards going from super easy to a little more technique on each card. This will be card number three. I like the alter look but not the over the top stuff (you know with bat wings on baby heads with nails sticking out) and wanted to show people Cuttlebug embossing folders don't always have to be cutesy looking. This card involves several layers of ink and misting water over everything to get the ink to spread out .
What a great card - care to share the instructions? I'm particularly keen to know how you kept the "birds & swirls" colouring separate. Thanks! And hi from Cape Town!
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
