The day before I started this card I was messing about with shaving foam, photo paper and reinkers to create a few festive marble effects and I've utilised one of them on this card.
I used the super sweet MFT Holiday Penguins designed by Stacey Yacula coloured with pencils and a few white gel pen highlights as well as a bit of sparkle for his hat.
The card base is textured red and I die cut the 'happy' from the satin photo paper I'd made the day before.
The Christmas was just stamped and embossed in white, before assembling my card I masked off the bottom area and added some white paint splatters to the top half.
I love the way the marble effect came out, I was aiming for a peppermint swirl design and of course I enjoyed getting very messy with shaving foam... still very much a child at heart :)

ReplyDeleteThat is really a cute card, and the shaving foam technique on the sentiment really does remind me of a candy cane! Awesome idea and a fun creation too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and happy card!
ReplyDeleteHi Claire, a super Christmas card for your stash, love the shaving foam background you made for the sentiment die cut. I used to work in a preschool and the kids loved shaving cream painting. Have a wonderful weekend... Megan
