How to make realistic-looking soap bubbles

[kelleyfhg]

I'd love to hear ideas about how to make realistic-looking soap bubbles for a scrapbook page I'm doing. I have a cute page planned for some adorable pics of my pup getting his bath in the kitchen sink...soap bubbles would be perfect!
Thanks,
Kelley

Punch various circles out of a scrap piece of cardstock. Use the negative portion as a guide to pounce blue ink. I would use sponge daubers to pounce the color on to the page. That sounds like it will be a very cute page!8-)

did you do a search here in the gallery?
maybe different sizes opunched out circles. using vellum?

I use punched out circles in different sizes from blue cardstock and add a small line close to the top right edge of each bubble using a white pen. I also use the white pen on the black center when I make an eye. Makes a big difference.

a little bit of re-inker...a little drop of soap...a little bit of water. Using a straw...blow a few small bubbles over your cardstock. When it dries...the bubbles remain from the ink. It really does look cool. I don't have any pics of this...it's been a while since I've done it. have fun.

This is like one of my oldest cards in the gallery, but it has a bubble background I made using the instructions below:

Put 1 tsp of liquid dish soap into a bowl. Fill � of the bowl with water. Use a straw and blow until the bowl is filled with bubbles. Lay the cardstock upside-down on the bubbles and push down until the bubbles stick to the card stock. Take the cardstock out and let the bubbles pop.
