Just Us Girls #243 - Wild Card {Shaving Cream Technique}

Welcome to this week's Just Us Girls Challenge

Sharyn here with this week's challenge.  Since this is the 5th Saturday of the month, it is a Wild Card week. My choice this time is a technique with shaving cream.  I love this technique, it leaves you with a very unique and beautiful background.  I hope you will give it a try.  To do this technique you will need some reinkers, foamy shaving cream (not gel), a paper plate, paper towels, a knife, and a straight edge like a ruler.  You can do a very subtle background with 1 or 2 reinkers or go more elaborate with 4 or 5 or more reinkers.   I'm adding a link to a quick video to help you get started.

We have had such a good time with our GD, Barbara Campbell, this month. Sadly, this is her last week with us.  We have enjoyed sharing her wonderful creations with you.  Thanks, Barbara!  Take a look at her beautiful card using the shaving cream technique.

Chic of the Week #241

Hi everyone!  I'm glad to hear that you liked  my color combo even though some may have found it challenging!  But every card was so pretty!  However, I had to choose only one and I chose this one by Becky!



 

I really liked how she used the colors and that scalloped curve...swoon!

 

Congratulations Becky!  Please email me at lisajugs@roadrunner.com to get your Chic of the Week badge.

 

Please stop by tomorrow for our Photo Inspiration Challenge hosted by Vicki!  See you then!
