better late than never!

Well, it's still Saturday in my part of the world so I reckoned I could still post for this week's Sunday Postcard Art!  The theme was 'fish'.  Did you know the seahorse was a fish?  I didn't.  When I told my husband his reply was "well what did you think it was?".  I don't know, but I know I wouldn't have said it was a fish!!! :)
Anyway, that discovery meant I could use the lovely new seahorse from Elusive Images to make a postcard.  I stamped then masked him before spraying the card with inks and adding stamped images.  Not a great photo, I'll take one in the light in the am and look forward to a new SPA topic!!
EDIT:  photo replaced by a better one; forgot to say that the seahorse is a fish because it breathes under water and doesn't need to come up for air!!

  1. LOVE your seahorse postcard, great stamp and what you've done with it! I have a thing for seahorses :) There is a new book out called "Posieden's Steed" all about these magical creatures, I heard the author on the radio.
    Great name for your blog, it's my first time here :)

  9. Hi Sarah! What a precious postcard! I love the colors you used too! Funny, but I've never thought of seahorses as fish either! Well, if they are, they're the cutest ones for sure!

  11. Great seahorse postcard, Sarah. I really didn't know that they were fish, but I guess I've never given it much thought. Love your stamp, though.

    Thanks for going to look at my events calendar. I think we'll see if we can get $3.50 for each of them for the church bazaar. If they were at an art show, I can bet they'd be priced at $10 each. People want you to give your art away.
