SHAVING CREAM Technique
This technique you pile some shaving cream onto a plate and squirt a couple of dots of liquid ink. For best result use matching ink used on stamped image. Swirl these dots of ink into the shaving cream, dont over blend. You want to have it swirling through the white of the shaving cream. Now take your white cardstock and place it on top of the pile of shaving cream, lift off and take a straight edge blade of some sort to crape all the shaving cream off of the cardstock. What you have left should be a beautiful marbled piece of background paper.
