During the week I had some friends over for a stamping day, and I showed them how to make gorgeous patterns on card, using the shaving foam technique. Judy chose a colour combo of Night of Navy, Pool Party and Crumb cake. The end result looked quite 'nautical' to me; it lent itself perfectly to being used on a card with The Open Sea stamp set (a GREAT 'guy' set).
Here's the sketch, to be used to make a birthday card:
Because of the swirly detail on my 'shaving foam' panel, I've left my card rather un-embellished; it was difficult to not add brads or buttons, but I think it works, for a male card!
Stamps: The Open Sea, Perfectly Penned
Card: Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Whisper White, Pool Party Core'dinations
Ink: Crumb Cake stampin' pad and re-inker, Night of Navy stampin' pad and re-inker, Pool Party re-inker
Other: 2 1/2" Circle punch, sponge daubers, Argyle embossing folder, Crumb Cake tulle (retired), Blue denim ribbon, flag die (not SU!), shaving foam
This is a gorgeous card my friend! Happy Mothers Day to you. I am just checking out some challenges so I can got and spend the afternoon in my craft room too, so I might give this one a go!
