repeat.<\/p>\n<p>When you are pleased with the result make it a &#8220;wow&#8221; by dipping your clean brush in the alcohol and then flick the brush on your finger, staying about 6&#8243; over the vellum.\u00a0 For small bubbles use just a little alcohol and stay a good distance over the vellum, for large bubbles use a little more alcohol in the brush and be closer to the vellum.\u00a0 Scroll back up to my card front and you will see I have pretty large bubbles and then as the alcohol in the brush ran out the bubbles are smaller.<\/p>\n<p>Let the vellum dry or use the lightest setting on the heat gun to dry the vellum.<\/p>\n<p>Attach the vellum to the double back adhesive sheet, trim to 4&#8243; X 6&#8243; and then cut 3\/4&#8243; off the bottom for an inside strip. You should have a 4&#8243; X 5 1\/4&#8243; to mount on the Basic White by removing the other side of the double back adhesive.\u00a0 If you have trouble attaching it squarely to the Basic White just trim the edges after attaching as needed.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the construction is pretty basic.\u00a0 I used Tombow liquid glue to attach the seahorse blue top to the Be Dazzling paper.\u00a0 Before popping up the seahorse with dimensionals I attached the seaweed at the bottom in just a few places with Tombow glue\u00a0 and then wrapped the seahorse around the left branch I left unattached.\u00a0 The seahorse, fish and greeting are all popped up with dimensionals.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t forget to dot little black eyes on the seahorse and fish with the Basic Black Journaler.\u00a0 Since the fish are popped up, the eyes seem to follow you as you move the card &#8211; cute!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Salt017.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4056\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stampalosopher.com\/?attachment_id=4056\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Salt017.png?fit=881%2C817&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"881,817\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Salt017\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Salt017.png?fit=600%2C556&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4056\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Salt017.png?resize=75%2C70&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"75\" height=\"70\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Salt017.png?w=881&amp;ssl=1 881w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Salt017.png?resize=300%2C278&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Salt017.png?resize=768%2C712&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 75px) 100vw, 75px\" \/>You&#8217;re making that up&#8230;..<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I guess they&#8217;ll just have to make one to see if it&#8217;s true.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to add your three rhinestones for more bubbles!<\/p>\n<p>Lastly I added my new type of Easel to the back of the card using the largest of the Hippo Dies.\u00a0 I cut two and glued them together for a little extra strength since the front was pretty heavy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sea-Life-Dies3.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4241\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stampalosopher.com\/?attachment_id=4241\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sea-Life-Dies3.jpeg?fit=1000%2C1333&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,1333\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone XS&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1629457861&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.25&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0038610038610039&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Sea Life Dies3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sea-Life-Dies3.jpeg?fit=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4241\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sea-Life-Dies3.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sea-Life-Dies3.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sea-Life-Dies3.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampalosopher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sea-Life-Dies3.jpeg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I would love to see what you make using this technique.\u00a0 Post a picture in the comments section!<\/p>\n<p>These dies are beautiful!\u00a0 Jo Brooks used the large fish die and the &#8216;Whale Of A Time&#8217;
