Hello my stamping friends. Today I have card for you featuring the shaving cream technique. This is a messy technique, but you can make really cool backgrounds with it. I got my shaving cream at the dollar tree so it was really inexpensive 😁. You start out with some shaving cream (enough so that it's bigger than your layer) and add 2-4 colors of reinker. You randomly add a drop all around your layer of shaving cream, alternating the colors. Then you take a knife and swirl the reinkers into the shaving cream creating a marble effect. Lay your cardstock layer on top of the marbled shaving cream and tap it down into the shaving cream. When you pull it off of the shaving cream, you will have excess shaving cream. Take a paper towel and dab it off of the cardstock. You don't want to rub it or else your marbled colors will become one solid color. Once you have the excess shaving cream off, let it dry and then cut it down to 3¾ x 5. Save the scraps for the inside of the card. For these cards I used Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather reinkers. I show you how I made these cards in the video below.

Highland Heather: 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½
