I don't make a lot of father's day cards but I needed to make some for my card racks at the stores. I was once again inspired by Susan's blog simplicitybylateblossom to make this seahorse card. I thought it was great since the male sea horse does carry the babies until they are born. There aren't a lot of father day stamps out there so I had to make due with what I had. The bronze Star Dreams card stock doesn't show up to well in the photo but it does add some sprinkle to the card. Stamp by A Muse and seahorse punch by Martha Stewart.
It was nice meeting you yesterday at the NSD event! I saw your cards at the store..all gorgeous! :) Hope to run into you again. No blog for me, but am RN4BBS on SCS. Thank you again for the make 'n takes!
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

Great Father's Day card! I'd forgotten about the daddy sea horses taking care of babies...that really does make this extra appropriate!
