Suzz week - Shaving foam

It's the turn of Suzz again at Paperartsy  and today she has been playing with shaving foam.  Check the link for Suzz's fab card - ideal for a man, normally so hard to design for!!

Now, many years ago I had a go with this technique but it had been relegated to the back of my mind; luckily I still had the can of foam.... !!! (good job I don't turn things out, eh?!)

Anyhow, this is my effort.  I don't have the car stamp that Suzz used, but I do have this London Bus (HP1208) never used before! I die cut the weathered clock in kraft paper and added some walnut stain distress ink too, before adding it to the card.  I didn't have a black card blank to mount it on, so just distressed the edges of my background as Suzz did, and layered it onto a white card. I was feeling a bit stingy with my idea-ology bits and pieces, so left that step out.

 I got in a bit of a mess on the mat, (should have used a tin lid or something.... but the mat got a spray clean after, so it's not all bad!!

these are the backgrounds I made - the earlier ones before the colours blend too much are better, but I'm sure I can use them for something!

I had forgotten what messy fun this technique is, but next time, as Leandra told me on Twitter, I won't use so much foam.... ok, Leandra, you were right!!
