Today's post is another wonderful 'thinking of you' card.
The card base is Stampin' Up Whisper White. The printed paper was made using shaving cream and a variety of Stampin' Up re-inkers (the shaving cream technique) and is layered on Stampin' Up Rich Razzleberry and Taken With Teal, and a white of unknown origin. The sentiment is My Favorite Things Brushstroke Expressions stamped in Taken With Teal on Whisper White and layered on more Taken With Teal. The embellishment is a metal flower from Multicrafts and a Crafts brad highlighted with Holiday Cheer Nuvo Glitter Drops.
I used this shaving cream technique on a number of papers a couple of years ago and had a fair bit of leftovers in my stash. I thought it would be great for this series of cards I've been making for friends and family. I think the layers on this card are great as they really highlight the swirls of colour in the printed paper. I think I probably should have re-inked my Taken With Teal stamp pad as the impression of the sentiment is a little on the light side. It took me a while to figure out an appropriate embellishment and I'm quite happy with the final result.
I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
