Both of these stamps were defective. The rubber on Kermie was hard and the tub was a very old polymer that had chunks missing. Micron pen to the rescue! There were actually 2 ducks perched on the edge of the tub, but they didn't stamp well and they were more Mallard-like anyway, so the martini glass did it's job for my purposes as well as for that little rubber ducky. The sentiment says "Make room for yourself". After watching the cute video Wanda attached in honor of Sesame Street's 50th anniversary and Rubber Ducky Day, I thought whoever gets this can imagine themselves jumping in on the Muppet fun. Rub-a-dub-dub!

Good job of fixing your images - (I sent you a PM on how to rejuvenate your old hard rubber) Kermit is a fabulous shade of green today and obviously enjoying his tub time with rubber ducky although you didn't have to go any further than "Ducktini" to get my attention. LOL

I love how you made these stamps useable with the magic of a pen and your talent!! Everything about this makes me smile. There is something quite decadent about having a drink while your in the bath (and chocolate). I digress, your card looks greaf Lori.

Ah, I'd say yes to a martini in the bath, for sure. Great rescue of the less than perfect stamps. I like the vivid frog green and duck yellow combined with the black and white line drawing style.

Yes, it is good that you were able to still use the less than perfect stamps. I have to bring a pen to the rescue even with perfect stamps sometimes. I would never have known that there was a cover up going on with the martini if you hadn't said it. Very fun card!

Great bath scene----as they say no bad stamping as can always fix or hide the problem and you did a great job. Looks like the ducky is sampling the huge Martina and leaving some for the rest of us--how mice of Kermit---sweet card.

Fun, as always, Lori! Love the wisdom in that sentiment.
