Well, Wanda, your tribute to Sesame Street really touched my child's heart. I love the art of puppetry. I loved watching the bathtub grow as the song went along. And in honor of Ernie's song...I am bringing a sea salt bath.
This card is also for the F4A519, where Angie asked us to use circles on our cards. Well, I have glass gel beads on my sea salt bubbles. And circles on my ribbon trim and shadow circles on the black panel.
I did do a search for rubber ducks among my stamps and even looked through my DP, but no ducks to be found. So I am bringing one very good looking frog. He was stamped onto a Brusho greenish bg. I stamped him first on acetate and fussy cut, so I could place him on the paper with the most color variation. He and the quip were embossed.
The bathtub was from a royalty free photo online. I added bubbles from a TCW 'Kasia' Sea Bubble Stencil. I used a shadow blue to add some depth. Then again using the stencil, I added the glass gel bead paste. Embossed it with 'Shell White'.
I added one of the Oregon Duckies on my 'tie dye' wet wipe. Me thinks he's ready to join the Sesame Street Conga line...
Happy Birthday Sesame Street.
editing to add, the card really doesn't have all that random white on the black spaces...it's something to do with the lighting and my camera.

I love the textured bubbles in your bath!! and I love froggy too, it seems your picture has lost some pixels in the bath...yes sometimes photographing our cards is a bit tricky!! I love your rubber duck my DH has got several but we're going to take out the bath and make an Italian shower, so they will stay only to decorate

Well now I get it...truly I do. I thought that picture was just to mess with me, but you did say you were going to 'cut out a bathtub.' Little slow on the uptake, Jean Bean. Those bubbles are fabulous and Mr. Kenneth Frog (Kermit's cousin) is so right...it is a circus, but not my monkeys, as they say. Very creative and lots to look at, bfnm.

OMG those sea salt bubbles are the best!!! This is really fun...I bet you had a blast making it. The frog is a worthy substitute for a rubber ducky. Super Duper Tickle card Susan!

A croak and a soak! Wildly wonderful with the best bathtub perspective ever! If we could see the back of your frog, I bet he would be as bumpy and textural as those salty bubbles. So smart to bring out his color and shine with acetate. Hope you can hop on over to my place again soon.
