Here's Looking at You!

 

Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

It's Spellbinders Club time again, and as Christmas in Julyis all over we're heading to the sea for August - or should I say under the sea

August's Small Die of the Month  features the loveliest set of undersea items - there are fish, coral and even a couple of cute divers - because you always have to have a Dive Buddy!

I've also used the beautiful Glimmer of the Month set; the gorgeous background plate, the pretty Speckled Prism foil and one of the two sentiment plates


This is a diorama style card so has an extra hinged layer in the centre to give room for one of the divers and some tiny fish to move inside the card.  However the hinges allow it to be folded flat to fit into an enve;ope
 
The movung elements are attached on silver twine - I cut some of the pieces twice so that if they rotate fully they have a back view too
I started by making the basic pieces of the box card, then added the Glimmer 'bubbles' foiling to the back section. 
For the porthole window I've used Tina Smith's Coastal Escape View Die set
I made lots of little fishies and attached them with foam dots, and a second diver who looks as though he's waving through the porthole 
I kept the fron ot the card plain and just added a Glimmer sentiment and a few dewdrop 'bubbles'
