Good Morning, hope you are all enjoying your Sunday morning. I have been so busy already, Adam had to be collected from the airport....oh I have missed him but he had a great time in America.....
Tess had to be walked etc, so I have only managed to watch half of Barbara's Clarity show on C&C, the rest has been recorded for later when hopefully I can sit down with a brew and enjoy.
A lot of crafters have asked about the shaving foam technique so here is my take on it.....
This is the finished card using the gorgeous new Filigraphy Dolpihin stamps....
This is such a quick and easy way of creating a background, I use one of my storage box lids, some shaving foam, some spray inks (and I mix and match depending on the colours that I want ) a ruler, and a very expensive wooden coffee stirrer.
Spray some shaving foam, and you don't need a lot.
Add some colour...
Make a pattern with the coffee stirrer
Push your card onto the top oh it feels all funny....
Peel your card away
Use a ruler to scrape off the shaving foam
This all goes back into the lid
And hey presto ...this is what you get....and it dries really quickly too.
And if your sprays have Mica in you get a lovely sheen...
You can then add other colours and repeat it all over again...and again...
I stamped the dolphins in Archival ink and used a word from the new word chains set 7.
I stamped the dolphins once more and cut them out so that I could decoupage them.
Some glue gel and job done.
I do hope you like this card and technique and I would love to find out how you have used it...
Better get on....
Enjoy your day...
Much love and hugs.

Brilliant technique Jo, I think shaving foam is a must next time I am out shopping, I assume any old cheapie brand is good enough ?? I wonder if sculpting hair mousse would serve as an alternative ?? Might give it a try and see .... nothing ventured .... xx
Brill I'll definitely give that a go, thank you x
