Just Us Girls #243 Wild Card

Welcome to this week's Just Us Girls Challenge

Hi!  Sharyn here and I'm your hostess this week for a fun Wild Card Challenge.  This week I've chosen to do a technique using Shaving Cream to make my own background paper.  I'm adding a link for a quick video to help you get started.  



Here's my card

To do this technique you will need some reinkers, foamy shaving cream (not gel), a paper plate, paper towels, a knife, and a straight edge like a ruler.  You can do a very subtle background with 1 or 2 reinkers or go more elaborate with 4 or 5 or more reinkers. After I made my panel, I decided to do 3 more to put in reserve for other projects.

I made my panel using Gina K. Designs Ocean Mist, Turquoise Sea & Blue Raspberry reinkers.  I love this swirly pattern and it reminded me of water.  I thought it would be great with this cute stamp set from The Cat's Pajamas called Rise & Shine.  I paper pieced the bunny's boots and umbrella, added an embossed piece and some twine and a button.
