Shaving Foam Technique Page

In my previous post I showed you step by step how to do the Shaving Foam technique. I had never done that technique myself before and in write it down step by step I wanted to make sure I don’t forget anything. It’s an easy technique to do but a bit messy. The end results are SO worth it though. As with all photos on my blog, to get a closer view, just click on the photo.

Shake your can of shaving foam and fill your pan 1/4" from the top. Add drops of ink refills the foam. Pick colors that compliment each other. Here I used More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie and Lavender Lace. Take your stir stick and run lines into the foam like you are making a grid. Don't fold it in like you would a marble cake, you don't want the colors under the foam, you want them to remain on the top. Press your card stock into the foam. Scrap the paper across the edge of the pan to remove excess foam. Take a paper towel and remove the rest of the foam. Allow to dry and use it as fun backgrounds, especially for Halloween cards!!!

So I have another page for the technique book that I am giving away when my blog reaches 500,000 hits. Which should be any day now!!! It’s a fun and exciting time for me!!! Who would have thought??? And I owe it all to you for stopping by!

Thank you SO much for visiting my blog today,
Wanda

I love using the Shaving Foam technique when I stamp! Thanks for sharing it. Something to try next time you do it... After you do it for the first time, stir gently again, then put in another piece of card stock. I did this once and was able to get 8 or 9 uses out of that shaving cream, with each getting litter!

I just stopped by and WOW! You are at 500807!!!! Woo Hoo. I have been waiting for this to happen. I can't wait for the chance to win your technique book. I have done the shaving foam technique before but I learned something from reading yours - to keep the color on the top. I used to always fold my colors in and now I know not to do that - Thanks!
