CPG TECHNIQUE: Marbled Paper Notecard - US Only

1 partner, 1 handmade blank notecard using a shaving cream or any other paper marbling technique (and a blank envie)

What is a shaving cream paper marbleing? It's messy and you may have done this with your kids for a school project. It is exactly what you suspect:

• Squeeze out a pile of shaving cream and smooth it down
• Drop a few drops of food coloring in different spots on the shaving cream
• Gently stir the food color through the shaving cream with a toothpick but don't mix it all in
• Lay your paper on top and gently press into the colored shaving cream
• Pull paper up and squeegee off the excess with an old credit card
• Let dry

Please embellish your notecard a bit with a sticker, words, or a little something so it's not completely blank but make the embellishment generic enough so your partner can easily use the card. The notecard should be mailable size so nothing smaller than 3-1/2-x-5 inches, as that is the smallest legal mailing size for an envelope in the US. The envie can also be handmade - plain or embellished, that is up to you.

Place your finished notecard & envie in another envie, write a little note to your partner about how this art adventure went, affix proper postage and mail it off!

This should mail for 1 first class stamp! Sender's choice for colors, this is all about the technique and having fun while making a mess!!
