HI - Marbling with shaving cream

This afternoon, I've been experimenting some more with marbling. This time I used shaving cream and distress ink reinkers to do my marbling, which is a new to me technique. After creating several panels, I was left with some left-over inked shaving cream. The colours in my plastic tub looked so soft and pretty that I did not want to let it go to waste, so I used it to ink up a few more small panels of cardstock.


One of these smaller panels ended up on my card above. I didn't want to cover up too much of my pretty panel, so I simply added a sentiment (Bigger Bang Confetti, Winnie & Walter), just below the big white cat that's keeping a watchful eye from his magic forest. Don't you love it when you get such fun surprise gifts? But maybe you prefer dogs lol? I adhered my panel behind a die cut frame (I die cut the outer frame using Custom Panels by Avery Elle and the inner frame using Concentric Circle Dies (NBUS 1) by Neat & Tangled - part of an earlier SOA collection) and mounted it all onto my A2 card base. To finish off, I added a few gold sparkly gems (NBUS 2) that ended up in my cart last month when I was spending a gift certificate (from my challenge win at AAA Cards) at Kylie's Happy Little Stamper's shop.

This card is a purrfect fit for the following challenges:
Darnell's NBUS #8 - Anything NBUS goes + optional theme: new technique


AAA Cards - CAS game #81 Hello


CAS Mix Up - Stamping, liquid colours + choice (die cutting)



Taheerah's Gossip Column at Winnie & Walter - No. 6 Marble

    And the cat actually looks like it comes out of Aladdin's miracle lantern! Wonderful marbling... I do wonder, though, how it's actually done with shaving cream. But I'm sure the internet will know the answer.

    Oh my gosh!! you had me finding this shapes on your card like when you look up at the clouds and try to find whatever fits your fancy.
    I do see a cat but I also kind of see a mousy? right there on top of the die cut sentiment.
    I love your creativity and imagination, you had all of us trying to find shapes.
    Hmm..I think I do see a foxy there on the bottom when I stood on my head, LOL!!
    Fun, fun card, thank you for sharing it with us at SHOPPING OUR STASH, hope you join the party again next time.
    Hugs,
    Maria Rodriguez.

    Big white cat, eh? Did you grow up in the 60s, by any chance?! I did and that's what I see, too, now that you mention it! This is really up there in the top five most beautiful shaving cream coloring I've ever seen, Marianne! It's a technique I've yet to try and it is the one I'm doing for the next challenge tomorrow. Just kidding! I know, that was mean! But it is a technique I still want to try and you've inspired me! Thanks for playing in my challenge #8 again!! Hugs, Darnell
