This was a card design I did last year and I decided to make some more for my 250 cards going off to our troop for the holidays.
A lot of stampers shy away from background stamps because they really don't know what to do with them. I've made baby shower, holiday and birthday cards using this stamp from Memory Box.
Doing a little catching up on blog reading... Nepal - how lucky are you? I jealous! Have a ton of fun! This hiking has sure gotten to be a great activity for you! The cards you made for the troops were great - how wonderful! I make 25 and I'm thrilled... geez 250! That's awesome!!! Thanks for the continued inspiration!
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
