Life in a Fish Bowl

For the OWH weekend challenge party, one of the challenges by  Two Paw Prints http://2pawprints.blogspot.com/2011/07/theres-something-fishy-going-on.html was to create a card with a fish bowl.  Some of the clever gals with entries designed fish bowls.  I took a different approach and used an OLD set by Stmapin' Up.  I had a hard time choosing between the plastic bag image and the jar but finally decided the jar was a more "permanent" fish bowl than the bag.  (How many of my kids' fishes died in the bag before they could get them home to a jar or bowl?)
I covered the entire jar with a thick layer of Crystal Effects.  Wish it showed up in the photo better.  It really looks like glass.

    I like the choice of the jar instead of the bag too, I agree! This is a great addition to a OWH box of cards. Thanks for joining us this week at Stampin' Sisters in Christ!
