Just passing

Again, too quickly, back to school is upon us, the heat of the sun is fading and the beach is but a memory. Here at Country View Challenges, we have a final helping of sea albeit underwater... the theme chosen by Rachel for September (Under the Sea).

I hope my first inspiration make gives a good impression of an underwater scene!

I made a card base from a 6" by 14" piece of cardstock and partially die cut the bottom with the outline die from the Studio Light Ocean View and made a mountain fold about 1" from the bottom, to get a folded card of 6"x6".
I die-cut white cardstock with the second die and coloured it with alcohol markers before gluing into place.

I decorated the front of the card with an underwater scene from Crafty Individuals paper  pad No 6 and stamped and coloured the turtle (CI-413) with pencils on a separate piece of card.
The turtle is attached to a piece of acetate I affixed to the back of the very first fold so that the animal leans back when the card is opened and not forward (yes I got that wrong the first time...)

Over to you... create a project following our Under the sea theme for a chance to win a £20 voucher in the Country View Crafts web shop!

Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the SSS Monday (my S is for Sea Scene), Addicted to stamps, Penny Black and more and SSS Wednesday challenges.
