Welcome
I have had two "play days" recently - the first one was using alcohol inks on shaving foam, and the background on this card is one of those

The focal point image was a freebie that Shery from STAMPlorations sent in an order - it is from the Colorables and Ephemera collection

The sentiment is a Magazine Freebie, stamped with Versamark ink and Chestnut die ink, and clear embossed, hand cut and mounted over a snippet of the paper I had used in the die cut behind the ephemera

This die cut behind the focal point was unmarked (still using my friends gear) , but made an point of interest without 'killing' the ephemera.
A few rhinestones completed the from panel.

The inside was decorated using the trimming from the background panel.

Looks like you had a good play day, and got a great result. The shaving foam is a fun effect and leaves the card feeling so soft and smooth. CarolG
ReplyDeletePS. You can also use food colouring with the shaving foam. CarolG
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I really like the focal point, it caught my eye right off.
