For my card I used a Karen Burniston pop up ball and accessories to create the pop-up octopus. I used purples as it was one of the 2 colors in my niece's and nephew's wedding invitations.
Once the octopus was assembled, I added a bow and layered it on the front of the card with the die cut anniversary sentiment.
I created a belly band as this will be given to my niece for her anniversary. She loves all things underwater and since an octopus has 8 legs it is perfect for her 8th anniversary. On the belly band is a piece of seashell that was from an earring my grandmother wore. It is perfect for the box of this card.
Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today. I appreciate the lovely comments. If you leave me a comment, I can stop by your blog for a visit.
