For this second card using the Adventurous Journey stamp set, I wanted to use the big rowboat image. 🚣‍♀️ Because the boat itself is very plain, I wanted to make a feature of the background. I used the shaving foam technique to do it.

To do this technique, squirt some shaving foam onto a piece of tinfoil. Use a knife to smooth it into a flat area slightly larger than your piece of card that you want to “marble “. Drop in ink. About 4 drops of each colour. I used Pacific Point, Balmy Blue and Soft Seafoam. Swirl lightly with a toothpick to mix the colours. Press in your card.

Lift card out of foam. Scrap off excess foam and smooth excess back into the rest of the foam to reuse a second time. Pat card dry on a paper towel.

Image 1. was my first result. Image 2. was my second and Image 3 was my third. You get a different result every time you mix and smooth out your foam. After about 4 goes, you could add some more drops of ink to keep doing this technique. Rinse the foam off and throw tinfoil away once you have finished. It is a little messy but it is super fun.
