Making bubble backgrounds is another of those techniques that's been around for quite a while and is a favourite of art classes taught to children in schools. What could be more fun than blowing bubbles and watching them pop and explode into colour onto paper! It also makes a wonderful background for atc's and cards. I read up on all the different ways this was done, experimented myself and found that dishwashing liquid in some water and Ranger Distress Re-inkers suited my purposes for this technique, along with a straw of course! You can use a watered down thick paint and I had even tried using Glimmer Mists but found that the amount of colour you need to use was too much.... hence the re-inkers being the best for my taste. I've only done one sample atc because I wanted to show how fantastic the background looks before you put the images etc all over it. These pics are a bit brighter here than they are in real life, more subtle colouring is what you can expect.

More atc's will follow when I have made them on these backgrounds.
