Shaving Foam and stencils

Yesterday I had a play with SHAVING FOAM with stencils.

Put about 2 tablespoons of shaving foam on your glass mat then add a drop each of 2 or 3 colours of ink, mix up a little then take a spatula or ruler and smooth over the stencil on the card.

Remove the stencil and leave to dry for a few minutes then take your ruler and pull off any extra foam.

Of course I do have plenty more of these backgrounds as the foam just goes on and on. You can also leave the foam to dry after taking off the stencil without pulling off the extra foam.

I must mention that I saw Leonie doing this on Hochanda.
