Hi all! Thank you for joining us at Kylie's Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for December! Can you believe the year is almost over?! The older I get, the faster time goes.
On Black Friday I had a couple of friends join me and we created cards with shaving cream. Fun, old school technique which we updated with a more modern twist.
Be prewarned! This is a messy technique!
To create these cards we used a styrofoam plate with a mound of shaving cream in which we dripped several drops of re-inkers into it: Bermuda Bay, Lemon Lime Twist and Daffodil Delight. Swirled the drops through the shaving cream with a pallete knife.
I cut a piece of 8 1/2" X 11"Whisper White thick cardstock into fourths. I took a piece and skimmed it across the plate of shaving cream. You can use your pallete knife to smooth out flat. See the top 2 left pictures below. For the card I am submitting today, I used the medallion stencil from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks. I skimmed the shaving cream diagonally across the stencil and then sprinkled glitter on it. The shaving cream doesn't adhere the glitter totally, but enough remains to give a nice shine.
Other option - use the negative from the die cuts of thinlits like a stencil and run shaving cream over it. See the Rooted in Nature tree and leaves.

Hope you give this technique a try. You can easily get carried away!
