Procedure:
For
the background select a large piece of watercolor paper bigger than
your actual memory page size. Use the white crayon to draw in a design,
being sure to press hard. With the other three crayons draw directly
on top of the white design. Use the #10 brush to apply water over the
crayon using vertical strokes. Let this dry and then trim to your memory
page size.
On another piece of watercolor paper, pencil in a bathtub shape using
the sketch pencil. This can be simple or ornate but be sure to leave
an open space to write in.
Outline the bathtub shape with the fine point end of the Blue Brush
Marker. With a wet #2 paintbrush gently drag the color away from the
line. Cut out the tub shape. Write your personal bathtub memory inside
the tub shape using the Blue Sketch Pen and adhere it to the background
paper near the bottom.
Select
two or three photos (they have to be bathtub scenes!) Crop your photos
into circular shapes. Add a little variety by using different sizes.
Using the colored paper, cut slightly larger circles to frame the photos.
Attach them together with photosafe adhesive.
On a small piece of white watercolor paper letter in the words "Rub
A Dub Dub - Look Who's in the Tub" using the Blue Sketch Pen. Leave
space between each word in "Rub A Dub Dub" to add bubbles.
Use the side of the foam tip of the Blue Brush Marker to gently brush
color only on the top bubble of the "Bubble Stream" and stamp
between the words. Color in the bubbles with the Light Blue Crayon.
Cut the paper into a fun soapsuds shape and adhere to the top of the
background paper, slightly off-center.
Take the background paper which by now has the tub and soapsuds header
and glue on the bubbles (all the cute photos)
Use the "Bubble Stream" stamp again and brush on color using
the Blue Brush Marker. Stamp directly onto the background in the open
spaces.
Glue the background sheet onto a slightly larger colored paper to
give it a nice border.
