Tutorial, Marbelized background Effect

Hello everyone!
Today I want to show you a fantastic way to make your own background paper.
I's simple, it's easy and... FUN!)

You will need Cardstock (Size will wary on your project)
Glimmer mist (or other mists-I used Maya Road)
Or if you don't have glimmer mists at hand Ranger reinkers will do the job. Well acctually, if you have both, mists and reinkers you can mix them to achieve desired coloring.
Plastic Ruler
SHAVING FOAM
Fork, small comb or even chopstic...)

Shake shaving cream well. Spray about 4"-square area of craft mat.
Gently swirl Glimmer mist bottle until sediment rises from the bottom and is evenly distributed.
Randomly mist shaving cream, leaving some areas white.
You can make some dots from reinker. You can also use lightly sprinkled pigment powder for extra shimmer.

At this point you can use tool of your choice ie. fork, comb os chopstic, to make swirls of color in the foam.

Now lay your cardstock into the painted shaving cream and remove it immideately.
Then with ruler "shave" all the foam, and IT"S READY!
If your paper curled up, lay it under some heavy books, it'll come back.

This method you can use with stensils.
Just lay your cadstock first, stensil on the top, and with ruler pick up shaving cream and gently spread it on the top of the stensil-like a cupcake, remove stensil to reveal the design.

Stamped designs
Use exess shaving cream mixture to "ink up" a solid image stamp. Stamp image onto card stock multiple times for a soft batik effect

Let me know, if this has been useful to you.
