The Bathing Beauty

Hi Everyone
To all my new followers welcome and to everyone, thanks for stopping by today.

Have you ever started a card or project/design only to put it aside because you just couldn't get it all to come together. Well the card I am showing you falls into that category. I think I've had the card base for a year or close to it. Its a round step card and I added the round frame with smaller circles. I glittered the circles and then it sat ready for images and embellishments.

I had found the cutest image of a little girl in the bath tub, and as soon as I saw the stamp I thought of the card base, sitting, patiently waiting.

The next stumbling block was what else to add to this unusual card design. I finally decided I wanted to have bubbles floating in the air.

Let me show you how I made the background for the bubbles. What do you do with the plastic packs that hold a lot of the products that we buy? Throw that stuff away don't you. Well you may want to look at that stuff differently, now.

Here is an example of the plastic containers I am referring to. (sorry for the glare)

I cut the edges off and save the plastic for many different uses. This time I embossed a piece to use for the background.

It embosses nicely. Here is a sample for you to check out. (sorry for the glare)

OK are you wondering what this card looks like???

Here it is:

Here are some a close-up of that embossed background.

Here is a close view of the cute stamped image.

This card waited so long to become finished, and it turned out really cute. Hope you enjoy it.
