Bugaboo Saturday Challenge - Recycle, Upscale or use a Household item

Thanks for stopping by today!

We have a new challenge for you

at Catch the Bug.

Recycle, Upscale or Use a Household item.

My card features the adorable digital

Bobblehead Greetings- Beary Birthday

 The digital image was printed onto Stampin' Up!

Whisper White card stock and colored

with Copic Markers.

The sentiment is from Verve

Wishing You set.

I used a household item for the base panel

of my project

with the shaving cream technique.

There are many great tutorials on the web

if you are interested in the technique.

I have included a few photos of the process below.

You will want to gather the follow items:

Paper plate, plastic knife, reinkers, shaving cream

  paper towels and white card stock.

(mine has been cut to 4.25 x 5.5)

Start with a large portion of shaving cream

on the paper plate.  You will then randomly 

drop reinker on the shaving cream.  Use the

plastic knife to crisscross the ink into the shaving cream.

 Lay the card stock panel on the shaving

cream and press until the entire panel

is covered.  Remove and clear away the

shaving cream with the knife and then

wipe excess with the paper towel.

(caution:  lighter weight cardstock may 

curl but will dry flat)

 This will result in a unique design on each panel.

You can always add more ink and

lay the panel in the shaving cream

a second time for more color

or additional design.

The sketch is from this week's 
Mojo Monday Challenge #442

I hope this inspires you to give the shaving cream

technique a try!  I would love to see what you create.
