Shaving Foam

Supplies needed: Cheap shaving foam, glossy card stock, a lid or tray (mine is an ice-cream tub lid), liquid inks (re-inkers, alcohol inks etc), kitchen towel

Spray shaving foam into your lid / tray (about an inch thick)

Add drops of colour as below - I used a peeled paint distressed re-inker

Move the colouring medium around until you get a look that you like (I used the end of a paint brush)

Once you are happy, press the glossy card firmly into the foam ( glossy card works best)

Peel the card off the foam

Leave to stand for a minute or two

Wipe off all the excess foam with a kitchen towel - This bit is messy!!!

This is the end result

You can add more colours if you wish - I added spiced marmalade

Followed the same procedure, moved the colouring medium around the foam (using a paint brush) until I got the look I liked

Placed the glossy card firmly on top of the foam

Peeled it off again

Left it to stand for a minute or two

Wiped the excess foam off with a kitchen towel and we now have two colours on the glossy cardstock

I went through the same steps again, this time adding a third colour - china blue from the distressed range of re-inkers

Pressed it firmly in the foam, peeled it off, left to stand and wiped the excess off with a kitchen towel - another fab result

These are the three different backgrounds I made from the same tray of foam just by simply adding more colours - now you try it
