atc

by Carol Hough

What you will need... Materials:

can of shaving cream,

tempera paints,or watercolors, inks you may experiment with your choice

paper plate

brush or comb and toothpicks work very well

piece of poster board or cardstock

precut atc or cut cardboard to atc size,,,here you may to wait and cut out your atc after coloring so you can use the best places

sponges or paper towels for clean-up

Layer about 1 inch of shaving cream onto a paper plate or tray

Level it out with a piece of cardboard as a scraper

Using your choice of paint. Paint directly on top of the shaving cream.

then using the back of the brush or a pointed stick or tooth pick. Swirl the paint. Do not push it down deep into the shaving cream. The paint will stay on the top.

Lay paper on top of the design and press down (printing technique). Pull the paper off. The shaving cream will appear to be all smeared but wait.

Use the piece of poster board to squeeze off the excess shaving cream. Like magic the design stays on the paper.

You can reuse the shaving cream until it gets drab. Just mix it in and paint again and again

and if you do a Google search you will find many different sites that use this technique some may even have videos

1 for 1 and have fun

I have done this and the results are so amazing. Thank you for sharing this technique!

Candyn29 06/16/2010 #

are we sposed to embellish these or collage them, or are they just sent as a print of the end result?

raven 06/24/2010 #

I added an image to mine but the end result is up to you. I have seen some so pretty that adding anything would ruin it..
