This is my card for the MMTPT338 challenge "Troubles With Bubbles". We were challenged to create a card featuring or using bubbles to send to a fellow Teapotter - it's Tickle week!
I had so much fun making this card. I stamped the image and imported into Photoshop for a bit of alteration.After removing the word "Kitty" from the bowl and deleting the bubble bath container, I enlarged the image and added the digi wallpaper behind it. On separate layers, I added the floor using tools in Photoshop, and the sentiment.
I printed it on white cs and colored the focal image with colored pencils. The tub was glazed with Tsukineko Glaz-on, and the bubbles were painted with Stardust Stickles. When the Stickles dried, I applied Glossy Accents to the bubbles individually, skipping around and letting them set somewhat before I applied to adjoining bubbles. It took a while, but doing it this way allows for better texture. I shadowed the sentiment with a Stardust Gelly Roll pen, double matted the focal and attached it to the card base.
As always, thanks for looking! Happy New Year!
