Olen halunnut jo pitkään kokeilla ns "shaving cream", eli suomennettuna partavaahto-tekniikkaa, jossa kyseisen aineen ja musteiden avulla (kortissani käytin distress inkin täyttöpulloja faded jeans ja worn lipstick) luodaan marmorikuosinen tausta. Kotoamme ei löytynyt partavaahtoa, joten tein mustekiekuroita varten tahnan vedestä ja vehnäjauhoista.
Lahjakortilla hankkimani Flonzin puun embossasin Rangerin black sparkle embossauspulverilla ja Stempelkellerin jouluntoivotuksen leimasin VersaFinen onyx black musteella. Halusin jättää kortin mahdollisimman pelkistetyksi, jotta itsetehty tausta saa olla pääosassa, joten koristeiksi lisäsin vain muutaman mustan akryylijalokiven (kolmessa eri koossa: 3, 4 ja 4.8 mm).
I have been wanting to try the so called "shaving cream" technique to create a marbled looking background with distress inks (I used re-fillers faded jeans and worn lipstick on my card). There was no shaving cream at our home so I made a thick paste out of water and wheat flour to create the ink-swirls.
Tree (bought with a Flonz gift certificate) is embossed with black sparkle (by Ranger) embossing powder. The sentiment, which is in Finnish, is wishing "Christmas peace". I wanted to keep the card simple and the self-made background to be the main focus so for embellishments I added only few black rhinestones (in three different sizes: 3, 4 and 4.8 mm).

Upealta näyttää - tätä tekniikkaa on pitänyt itsekin kokeilla, mutta meillä kans tuota partavaahtoa harvemmin löytyy kun partakoneella nykyisin ajelee mies partansa :D Mutta pitää laitella vinkki korvantaakse ja kokeilla joskus tällä tavalla tekniikkaa :)
VastaaPoistaNow I wish I had known about the flower and water before buying the shaving foam! Not only does it look great you have mastered the technique with your creation. I've had a look at our rules and I think you are okay to enter three times each challenge Emelin hugs Karen P Technique Time Tuesday Challenge Crew Member http://stampinginpink.blogspot.co.uk
