I made this for TLC176, A Little Suspense.
I combined mine with a tunnel card, because I've never done a suspension card that way before.
For the inside I made a little fish using a balloon punch and heart punch. The fins and tail are sandwiched between two balloons, along with the silver thread, and he spins so well I had to prop him against the front when I was trying to take a picture! I marked scales with a very fine mapping pen and added eyes with a white Sakura pen.
In case you can't see, the paper lining the card is dark blue with gold lines, it's from Clairefontaine. I cut a few little strands of seaweed as well.
Apart from that, I didn't want to do too much to take away from the clean lines and fairly plain colour scheme, so I resorted to gold peel-offs for the Happy Birthday and added two goldfish - edited to add: Did I say goldfish? Duh, I added two seahorses. Been one of those days...
