A slight change in our challenges are starting this week, at Addicted to Stamps and More, instead of splitting them into groups with numbers we will be continuing in numerical order from this week onward. Hence we seem to have jumped forward to #37 which is Make Your Mark - where you must use some form of marker pen, paints etc, more details on the main blog.
My project all started with a can of Shaving Foam, or in the US Shaving Cream. There are many videos on You tube which show this technique. A dish with a layer of shaving foam, a few drops of colourant, I used two TH Distress Ink Re-Inkers for this card. Stir gently with a stick or handle of paintbrush. Gently lay on your card, remove the shaving foam and there you are Shaving Foam Marble technique, which can be used for a host of backgrounds. Once you start you can't finish, I have ended up with quite a number of marbled sheets, so watch out, it will be popping up over the next few weeks or so. When dried, I stamped twice with a Penny Black stamp - Garden Poems, then I coloured them with Promarkers. Go on have some fun and get messy, I did and had a fab time. Have fun with your project.
