Another simple card for my card class down at the Akiyama Wellness Center on Friday. I CASE the card from a posting on Split Coast Stampers. I was going to use my Copic airbrush system but it uses way too much ink (well the seniors will use way too much ink) so I went with good old fashion sponging. My leaf punch is on it's last leg, so I will also punch out all the leaves for class. I did airbrush the leaf a little to tone down the shine of the Star Dreams cardstock. I will also be making a winter theme card with this layout. Will post as soon as I get my act together.
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.
Evan and her flatfish
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
