Hello


I have quite a few green flowers in my garden. Most of them are hellebores which are shade loving plants and thrive in the shadow of my neighbour's garage. This die by Simon Says Stamp was stacked a couple of times with the top layer being a piece of relaxed shaving foam technique card which I made quite some time ago. this is my video of that technique.




The embossed panel is from a Memory Box die, I usually only use a portion of the impression, as the size differs from the card bases used in the UK.
I don't recall the make of the sentiment die, but a chopped on part of one of the tails to add it to the card. Looking at the picture I may chop off a little more to make it flush with the edge of the embossed panel!

You are amazing


Here is a little card I made using up some background I made some time ago. I used a stencil and some of what I call 'Relaxed' Shaving Foam technique. I mixed the foam with various shades of blue Distress Inks and left it to relax overnight. Instead of the usual marbling effect, it gives a more blurred effect. I spread some through a stencil and much of it seeped underneath and some transferred when wiping off the excess, but I rather like the overall effect!

Birthday WIshes


I found a scrap of background that I had created with s stencil and some distressed shaving foam... I say distressed as I had mixed the colours with the foam and left it to sit overnight, the result being more relaxed than marbled. I added a few die cuts and a simple sentiment and it was done.

Happy Birthday

This background for this, is from a piece of card created by what I call Relaxed Shaving Foam technique. If a print is taken from shaving foam immediately after mixing in some colour, a marbling effect is achieved, however if the foam is left to sit for quite a few hours before taking a print the outcome is very different. The foam starts to break down and does not hold the colour in  swirls, anyway I rather like it, I find the results a little more subtle than the marbling. The daisies are from dies by Memory Box
This card is for the Occasions challenge at Watercooler Wednesday.

I was fortunate enough to have my card for their last challenge selected as the winner, for which I would like to thank the DT enormously. I really appreciate it!
