an Easel Card

I have used this fabulous image of Soggy Doggie, I coloured my image and then used some crystal glitter on the water and suds.  I went with a vintage look, the background I created to look like the tiles from the old swimming baths I used to go to when I was at Primary School.  They were very old, it used to be a Victorian building and the cubicles had little wooden doors on around the sides of the pool.

The ducks are from an old Joanna Sheen House Mouse stamp set.
