February Mid month inspiration

In our mid month posts at Stamping Sensations, we are going to showcase for you a technique that we have tried out. I saw some wonderful samples from Visible Image, our sponsors this month, using shaving foam marbling technique and I knew I had to have a go. I have marbled with shaving foam before using a variety of inks and dyes, including re-inkers and food colouring, but not half as effectively as the samples I saw. They had used Dylusions sprayed onto the foam. The colours were amazing!

So, if you want to have a go yourself, you need shaving foam, a tray, a ruler and some inks, sprays or dies.

• First spray the foam into a tray and smooth over the surface so it is larger than your paper.

• Next spray the foam with your inks. Use a cocktail stick or paintbrush handle to mix up the colours a bit. 
• After that, lay your paper or card onto the shaving foam, pressing down so colour touches all of the paper surface
• Lift the paper off and use the ruler to scrape off the shaving foam
• Leave to dry

Here are a few samples using a mixture of Visible Image and Inkylicious stamps

I hope that has inspired you to have a go yourself! Thanks for looking!
