For Anita's TLC challenge, which you can find HERE.
I was intrigued to try this, and what is really funny is that when I was finished, I realised that it was almost the same thing as the theatre card tutorial I had downloaded and bookmarked to look at whenever I had time. It was super-fun and easy to make, so I hope you'll give it a try.
Having cut my pieces from a cream card, I realised that I would like them more suitable for underwater, so I sponged the two side panels and the slider piece with Tumbled Glass distress, and stamped them with IO Bubbles also in Tumbled Glass. I have two seaweeds - one from Pink Cat Studio stamped in Forest Moss, and one from Sea of Textures stamped in Mowed Lawn, and I also stamped a coral from Sea of Textures with Carved Pumpkin DOX.
I stamped the large fish from Fishy Friends on the slider piece and on some plain white card, embossing with clear EP. Because he's set in to the back you can't really see, but he's coloured with Twinkling H2Os and is quite shimmery. I cut him and added him into the background piece, with silver Stickles on his bubbles.
I was going to emboss the front for texture, but nothing in my range of larger folders appealed to me so I hunted out the last scrap of some old wave paper and used that to cover the front. Matt silver for the aperture frame cut with stitched circles. I added a net from Under the Sea, and a little starfish (Marianne Designs) cut from a piece of Yupo with alcohol inks and some half pearls. To pull the sides, I added eyelets and some Brusho-dyed seam binding.

LOVING this cool fancy-fold card with peekaboo window showing the fish, the realistic underwater scene, and that piece of netting adds such great texture and more realism to your wonderful card!!! I am not great at building scenes, so I appreciate when I see a card made by someone who is wonderful at it. This is so cool!!!

I like the net and starfish on the front giving an extra layer of depth to the theatre. Cool card, Sabrina.
