OK, I realize that saying this fish is underwater is probably silly, but oh well.The fish and bubbles are cut from my favorite origami paper.
The background on this card is fantastic -- it's made by crinkling up the paper, dampening it, and then layering watercolor paints on top. The creases and crinkles in the paper cause the paint to flow into all the little trenches and make wonderful patterns all on its own.
The background makes me think of water plants waving around gently in the water. What do you see?
