Since I was a little girl every year we would drive from the northern part of Missouri to Florida to visit my grandparents. The BEST part of the trip was getting to go to the beach!!! Unfortunately one summer I had a cast on my arm from falling out of a tree (LOL I was only five and didn't weight hardly anything!) But that meant I couldn't go swimming. So to make it up to me, we went to the aquarium! And here are some of the things we saw!
I used the recessed windows to take the scene farther and farther back. Hope you like it!
This is the card I drew my inspiration from, but I did not use Acetate. Aquarium Card by kathi17 at Splitcoaststampers
Okay, thanks for taking a peek!

Ohhhhhh Kathleen this is wonderful. The colours are so vibrant and I love the recessed window, I have never seen anything like it. Some lucky teapotter is in for a treat.

What a great colorful scene you have created, Kathleen! Lots of fussy cutting and so well framed-looks like a 3D card! Beautifully done~Sorry about your tree accident though~

Great aquarium scene Love the depth created by the layers. I wish I was in that aquarium. It is so hot & humid here I can just feel the cool air in the passageways of the aquarium.

So awful when kids can't get to the water! Though you do have some nice memories of your trip anyway. I love all your layers. Fun!

This is wonderful Kathleen, it reminds me of a tunnel card. You created such depth. I'll bet that was fun having grandparents in Florida, we had a lake cottage at Lake Winnipeg.....doesn't quite compare!!!!
