FLAT FISH PAPER ARTS: Maya Road Tree Stamp

Maya Road Tree Stamp

This is one card I will be doing for my card kits at Memories Live On. I'm not a big fan of cling stamps since not all of them will take ink the same way. I was having such a hard time getting this stamp image to work, I finally decided to cut out the tree trunk and replace the leaves with flowers. It took much longer to design this card because I had to try every ink pad I own (and I have a lot) to find one that would work. I may be a red rubber snob but at least I know all my ink pads will work.

What's with the blog name?

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.
