Fun bubble technique

This is a project following the prompts for #dephemerember2023 hosted by @49dragonflies and @luiseheinzl.

6. Selfie in a bubble

7. Clocks and wings

Bubble:  Combine water-based colorant (watercolor, dye reinker, a little acrylic paint, coffee, whatever you’re going to use) with water and a few drops of dish detergent and water. Use a straw to blow bubbles in your solution and pick those up with a piece of paper. I used mixed media paper, and went on to stencil some additional bubble images.  

Selfie in a bubble:  I used a circular piece to back my selfie for the Dephemerember prompt.

Clock and wings:  I printed the wings from an internet image search, and cut the clock using Sizzix Bigz Tick Tock #657830.  The party always starts at 9:05.

Since I had some bubble background left, I used Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Merchant #CMS331 and another number set from my collection to create numbers for journal pages.  The weather is perfect for a little heat embossing, so I used Ranger Tim Holtz embossing glaze in rustic wilderness, mermaid lagoon, and salvaged patina.  It’s just too hot on the Gulf Coast to turn on a heat gun in the summer, and that lasts five+ months!
