Description:

Squirt cheap foamy shaving cream into a container. I usually use the disposable metal trays but you can even use paper plates. Add a few drops of reinkers each of 2 colors & swirl together like you do for a marble cake. Make sure the colors will mix well (red & green make brown).
Press cardstock into shaving cream just enough to cover the cardstock. Remove the cardstock & scrape off the shaving cream with a ruler or old credit card. Scrape the shaving cream back into your container. Allow to dry. You can use this several times before it starts to look too muddy.

This look is pretty enough to make a pretty card front all by itself but we are making ATC's with it & then stamping an image on it. If you do not have reinkers, you can use food coloring. The thicker gel type works best. I would suggest you wear rubber gloves for this & lay newspaper over your work area.

You will send 1 ATC to 2 partners. You are a trusted member of this group but I reserve the right to ban.

No, no, no! It is much more fun to get into a mess! You should have seen my study last time I did this! At least it cleans up relatively easy. I'm in but off to buy a protective forensic outfit first.;>)

Do we have to stamp an image on it or can we use another technique?

The directions say to stamp on it but if you ask your partner & they have no problem with it then go for it.

No problem. I'll stamp it-It will be fun.
