The September CAS Mix-Up challenge is to use the marbling technique - and I can't say I'm over the moon with my results. I used the shaving cream method ages ago only didn't have any shaving cream so went with water - after many attempts with reinkers, alcohol ink, spays and nail polish, I finally settled on the one using SU reinkers and some HA gold spray. So here's the result!
It really turned out quite well and the gold gives it a nice shimmer as you can see from the closeup. The PTI die cut was layered 3 times to give it some depth. Thought I'd give it a "fake shaker" look by adding sequins just along the bottom part of the leaf (not an original idea, but can't remember where I saw it). The little sentiment is also from PTI.
Thanks for visiting today and your comments make my day.
Very cool idea Betty. I have never tried the shaving cream method (I did buy a tin of it and it is somewhere - lol)! Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteLovely background Betty. And the raised leaf adds wonderful texture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background! And I love the way you did the faux shaker looker with the leaf. Thanks for joining us at CAS Mix Up.

ReplyDeleteTalk about giving it the old college try...I really love how your background turned out, Betty! Your dimensional leaf is gorgeous and I love the sentiment! I've been procrastinating, but I think I have some shaving cream somewhere, so I'll be going with that...we'll see :)
