Spectrum Noir have added a new video I have made to their Blog page and you will find it here ... Shaving Foam Technique
It is not a long video but it shows you what I have done to create the card and the end result ... and it is part of my commitment to being a Design Team Member.
There are many ways and many kits that you can buy that will create the marbling on your cards but they can be expensive.
This is a cheap way and it gives you the same result. It is a simple idea and one that as been around for a long time and the whole thing is messy but fun.
Once you have the foam on your card .... and any card will do... there are other things that you can do to it.
This panel has been embossed and then rubbed over with Gilding Cream and I have edged it with a black liner pen ... and it is not supposed to be a straight line !! ....
This one has been heat embossed and edged with the Spectrum Noir pen that matched the ink used in the background.
I think the whole effect is very striking and when other embellishment are added it will be a card that not even you can replicate.
Which is all part of the fun .... no two will ever be the same.
I hope you enjoy the short tutorial

I did try this method after watching your video on shaving cream last week. I had a blast! I must say yes it can be messy, but the end result was so worth it. I did several peices to have for more cards. Thanks so much for all the info you share. You are the best. I love watching the videos.
