Welcome friends! Thank you so much for visiting us for the November Creative Inking Blog Hop! Our theme for this month is Terrific Techniques! I decided to do the shaving cream technique. I used my largest acrylic block as my palette. I began by squirting a heavy layer of shaving cream onto my block.
I then picked out some complementary reinkers. I chose Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay. I placed 6-8 drops of the reinker randomly onto the shaving cream. I ran a wooden skewer through the cream and the drops of ink. I was careful not to mix it to much because the colors would become muddy.
The next step was to smoosh, (like my technical term), a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock into the inky foam mixture.
After smooshing the paper, I carefully pulled it off the foam and cleaned it off with paper towels.
And this is the result. Isn't that cool? It reminds me of marbling with oil colors that float on the top of water.
This is the card I made with my paper.
I like how bright this card is! The silver glimmer paper makes it a little more fancy!
Thank you all for stopping by! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Next stop, is Colleen! She always has an awesome project!
Make something pretty!
