I'm not usually one for creating "home decor," but we just so happen to be in the midst of redoing Sadie's bathroom, and I just so happened to need a project for my Project of the Day for Banana Frog. So, I created a little ducky wall hanging:
For this fun little wall hanging, I used what I had on hand. Starting with a framed piece of cheap art, I removed the art and used the remaining frame and mat. For this particular mat, the opening is slightly smaller than 6" square, so I cut a piece of blue cardstock to 6" x 6" for my background. Using my Cricut machine with the New Arrival cartridge, I cut a bathtub from grey patterned paper and a duck from yellow cardstock.
Before adhering the duck or the bathtub to the blue background, I stamped some circles to create bubbles. I used Versamark ink with two sizes of circles from Round in Circles and a row of circles from It's All About...Circles to stamp circles above and behind the duck and along the lip of the bathtub. After stamping, I sprinkled the images with iridescent embossing powder to mimic that magical bubble sheen. After attaching the the duck and bathtub, I tucked some circles punched from vellum between the duck and the tub, and I added felt letters to spell "rub-a-dub." And as Sadie would say, "TA-DA!"
Hope this weekend gave you all some time to create!
