Shaving Cream

I LOVE doing the shaving cream technique. You get all inky and messy! so fun. For those of you unfamiliar with the shaving cream technique.. here are the basics:

1. cover a paper plate with shaving cream (make it about an inch thick)

2. Using two or three reinkers- drop five or six drops of ink randomly into the cream

3. mix with a stick (I like a bamboo skewer) into an interesting pattern.. but before the colors blend

4. push your cardstock- whisper white or glossy are best- or shimmer for added pizazz!- into the cream

5. pull up the cardstock, clean it off and see your creation!!

This is one of my favorites! SO simple.. but so cool.. at least I think.. :) Enjoy!

Faux Silk Sample

This was the technique of the week on SCS last week and I thought it would be great for the stamp-a-stack on Saturday. It's super easy, and really looks like silk!

Here's the quick and dirty tutorial (for full instructions, see Splitcoaststampers.com)

1. Stamped the small flower on tissue paper.
2. Crumple the tissue paper up
3. Smear glue stick all over a piece of vanilla
4. Smooth the tissue paper onto the vanilla
5. Trim and finish card

How about you try this technique? Email me your results! I would love to see 'em!

Have a great night! Liz
