Fish Note Cards for Oil Spill Fundraiser



This cute little note card design was made by Christy of The Petite Press especially for this month's Poppytalk Handmade Oil Spill Fundraiser market. It features a school of silvery fish (and a little turquoise one) that go 'round and 'round on a beautiful turquoise background. The cards are blank inside, so they can be used for any occasion you wish. Here's how to make the fish swim in a circle (at whatever speed you desire :) as demonstrated by Christy's daughter:



Christy was inspired by these shimmering, swirling fish that she saw in the Scott Aquarium at the Henry Doorly Zoo during their family trip to Omaha, Nebraska last fall:



This is a limited edition print run of 80, and each card is numbered and initialed. They were printed on her antique hand-powered letterpress. Through the month of July, Christy will donate 75% of the sale of each of these cards to Oxfam America's Gulf Coast Oil Spill Response Fund If you would like to purchase one, they are available here. Thank you so much for your help.
