Rubber Romance - Calgon Take Me Away

I love bubble baths & lotions, don't you? Some of my favorites come from Philosophy - I love how the bottles provide the recipe for the actual item that the bubble bath scent is based on. I also love giving little bath sets as gifts. I mean who can't appreciate that.
Here's a little set that I created using the gorgeous Babs from Rubber Romance:

I just love this image! Babs is perfect for little spa gift sets. I dazzled her up a bit with some glitter and glossy accents. I hope you can see some of it in this close-up.

To create my set, I simply wrapped each bottle of BeautiControl products with some pattern paper (from the DCWV Doodlin' Around stack) and trimmed with a scalloped strip of purple cardstock. I just used my ATG gun and the thicker dp adhered well. I then created a sleeve to keep the bottle of lotion and body wash together. I cut a strip of kraft and ran it through my crimper, added some dp, and created a ring the size of the two bottles together. Remember to place the image atop the seam - yep, I forgot at first....sometimes, I get excited to see the finished product :)
Right now there's a sketch challenge going on at the Rubber Romance blog!

The challenge is going on through September 27th, so I hope you get a chance to play along. I'm hoping to have a card based on the sketch in the next few days...my mom came for dinner tonight so I didn't have much time for stamping.
Details:
Ink - Tuxedo Black (Memento); Copics
Paper - white, kraft, purple; dp - DCWV (Doodlin' Around stack)
Accessories - paper crimper, Nestabilities circles & small scallop circle, Glossy Accents, glitter Gelly Roll pen, scallop edge punch
