I had to borrowed this stamp because it sold out before I could get to it. Again this was a popular stamp from Memory Box to use for the holidays. During Thanksgiving we used fun fall colors. For Christmas I used two shades of green (Memento Bamboo and Cottage Ivy) stamped on paper from October Afternoon - "Trim the Tree". I added red berries with a small round stamp with Memento red. I distressed the edges with brown ink so if I was off in center it wouldn't show as much. This was one of the cards I did for the ladies down at the Senior Center.
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
