Hi Everybody,
As promised here is the video to show you how I did the shaving foam and gilding flakes technique on the cards I showed you last week.
This one has gold flakes on it and I have cut the panel into heart shapes to add to the embossed front.
The tiny gemstones make it sparkle and it is a really pretty card
There are several examples that you can try in the video and the colours are really vibrant on my cards.
For this card I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from Card Making Magic and added it to some vellum
The colours you use can make the card for any occasion or gender
Use blues to create a sky or sea scene.
Or browns,tans and black for a tortoise shell look.
The world is your oyster with ideas and you just need to turn them into cards once you have the panels made.
Always a good stand by for those last minute makes that you may be asked to come up.
More tomorrow ...

Great cards, looking forward to watching your video later.

Hello Christina,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video, I've only ever used the Ranger alcohol ink refills and it's good to know that others work just as well.

Christina, how many cards can you get from one use of the foam?? You only did two in the demo, was that due to time?? thanks, Karen
ReplyDeleteI only did two as there was so much to get in. You can get more from the foam and add more ink as you go along ... but eventually it will be so mixed you maybe won’t like it as much Cxx
DeleteMany thanks for these two beautiful cards Christina. Its such a long time since I did the shaving foam technique I'd forgotten how stunning it looks. Thanks for the reminder.

ReplyDeleteThan you for demonstrating this technique with all the different products, I have tried foam after I saw one of your earlier demos and found it to be fantastic for making great backgrounds. Thank you for sharing and for your inspiration. Di B.
