On Friday when my girl friends were over we played with shaving cream and re-inkers.
We did far more pieces than I have here but these are some samples of what we ended up with.
I have the tray set from Stampin Up and used the larger tray to spray the shaving cream into.
We used a table knife and a spatula as well as some rag towels to clean the stuff off of the paper.
This is a really messy project. If you want to try it for yourself make sure you have old clothes on that you don't care if they get stained up with the ink.
Here in the first photo we started with orange ink. It didn't take long to look like a huge orange cremesicle.
The orange was looking too plain so we added some drops of Purely Pomegranate ink.
We used dye re-inkers which SU calls Classic Ink
After a while that had gotten pretty mixed in so we added some drops of Chocolate Chip ink.
By the time I did this sheet the orange had begun to turn into a washed out sick sort of pink.
As we continued to add color now and then some strong color would show up when we thought there wasn't much left.
After a bit we added in more orange in an attempt to counter act the sick pink.
Then we added some drops of Garden Green ink.
I thought it would be really interesting if we each took one sheet of paper that we created a background on and used it to make a one sheet wonder set of cards from.
When we were doing this the shaving cream sure added some smell to the living areas of my home. At times it was a bit over powering.
Split Coast Stampers probably has a tutorial on how to do this technique.
My friend Emilly is planning to use hers with SU's Safari stamp set. A couple of weeks ago she did a one sheet wonder with images from that set and a nice looking African tree stamp she had from another company. She didn't get 10 cards out of it because of the choices she made when cutting up the sheet but she did get 6 or 7 out of one sheet of paper.
