Timeout Tuesday – Shaving Foam Technique

It was time for my monthly class this morning and we made this gorgeous card using the shaving foam technique.

Have you tried it?

Tips:

• Shimmery White cardstock works the best for this technique
• any shaving foam will do – it doesn’t have to be expensive
• add drops of each colour of reinker to your shaving foam and create a swirly pattern with a knife or skewer
• ‘smoosh’ (that’s the technical term) your cardstock on top of your shaving foam mix
• remove & wipe off the excess with a squeegee
• all to dry before adding to your card

I’ve embellished with copper foil & embossing.

I {LOVE} the boldness of the sentiments from the “Wonderful Year” stamp set.

I hope you get a chance to try this fun technique.

It works with pretty much any colour combination – and the best part is the experimentation!  You will never get the same pattern – even from the same shaving foam / ink set.
