Three in one

I recently made some beautiful papers using the shaving cream technique and used them to make this card and another one which I will post in a separate post.

I love working with pinks and this challenge was no exception.  The shaving cream technique is one that I will be repeating many times, this was my first attempt and I love the marbled look it gives.  

If you follow my blog you will know by now that I love making my own background papers, weather I use stamps and sponging or alcohol and inkers I love how it allows me to add something completely unique to my projects.


This card is entered into the following challenges.

Stamping 411 - Sketch Challenge #197
Picture Perfect Creations ~ Colour Combo #54 ~ Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride and Whisper White

Hand Stamped Sentiments ~ Pink-a-licious Challenge # 62

    Gorgeous background paper! Can you believe that in my 6 years as a SU! demonstrator I've never tried the shaving cream technique!?!? Crazy!! Maybe I'll give it a shot for an upcoming Technique Thursday on Stamping 411! Thanks for the inspiration :)

    Wow! you did a great job on this technique. The scallops and the shaving cream background brings you straight to your focal point of your card -- the blossom. Cool!! Thank you so much for joining our challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments. Love it!!!
