The Sea Is Calling ~ Double D

Hello my friends.  Double D Challenge is kicking off a new challenge today with the "Signs of Summer". Nothing says "summer" more to me than spending a day at the ocean.  ...Toes in the sand, listening to the ocean waves roll upon the seashore and watching, waiting for the infamous mermaid to appear.  

 I used papers from Sea Maiden Seven from Authentique to create a twist panel pop up card to give to a friend who loves mermaids.     

The twist panel pop up die is from Karen Burniston.  Each of the images fit the panels perfectly.  The post card image on the bottom panel is a left over piece from Graphic 45.  I'm glad to finally have found a place to use it.

I made a belly band using Velcro dots on the back to hold it closed.

 

Here's the inspiration photo to get you started:

I was inspired by that cute little girl walking on the beach with her pail.  I think perhaps she's really a mermaid....

I hope you'll hop on over to the Double D Challenge Blog to see more inspiration from my talented team mates and join in on the fun!

Thanks for stopping by!
