Found my old can of shaving foam the other day and had a great time yesterday using it to create colourful backgrounds. If you have not tried this technique it is great fun.
Place a squirt of shaving foam in a flat bottom wide top dish, I use a baking tray. Add your colour mediums, ink refils, Inkabilities, sprays, or as I did yesterday Brusho. Fold the colour into the foam add another colour and fold again, repeat until you have all the colour you want. Continue to fold until the colours are mixed across the foam. Place your card over the foam and press down apply pressure until foam is spreading out from under the card. Lift the card and with a flat sided scraper of some kind remove the foam from the card surface, you will see how the colour has marked the card. Set this aside to dry. You can use the foam again and again.

For my background I used Purple, Blue, Teal/Turquoise and Yellow. Embossing paste pushed through a stencil, sorry no idea where/when I came by the stencil. This piece cut down to fit on a card from, a piece of yellow DP cut to fit just behind it. After much thought and faffing I finally chose the paper rose.

I have done this technique before but never with brusho's Zoe, so it's on my to do list.....Vibrant and wonderful creation x.
ReplyDeleteAwesome card. I haven't used shaving cream in years. I do remember doing it and using a knife to run it back and forth through the shaving cream to get a marbled look. That was a fun memory reading your story of doing it. So glad you shared your awesome card over at Always Fun challenge. Have fun creating. Be safe and stay strong.
ReplyDeleteAwesome technique! I am a Brushos fan but confess I hadn't thought to do this, will now!#
