Welcome

Today's card features a background I did with some shaving cream and this great stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Flower Head.  This stencil is large and makes the perfect backdrop for stamping.

So here's what I did to create my card:

• I cut a piece of white cardstock as my front panel and positioned my stencil over that.
• Next, I got my shaving cream ready by spraying some out onto a paper plate and tinted it with some Distress Re-inkers.  I used the end of a paintbrush to swirl the colours together to blend them.

• Using an old gift card, I picked up some of the tinted shaving cream and pulled that over top of the stencil.  
• I removed the stencil and set aside to dry.  When dry, I used a clean credit card to go back over the top of the shaving cream to remove all the excess and was left with this lovely image.
• I placed the shaving cream background into my Misti, then stamped the dragonfly and the sentiment from Visible Image with some Versafine Clair ink.
• I glued it onto a piece of white cardstock to act as a border, then onto a piece of black cardstock and then finally onto a white card base.
• Lastly, I added 3 black enamel dots just under the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
