I used one of my shaving cream stenciled papers to make my Blue Christmas card for Kathy's fun challenge. Lydia shared a fun tutorial with us for the Falliday Fest Tutorial Blitz. This one is a keeper for sure. My shaving cream was soupy instead of firm, but it still worked OK. I look forward to trying again with a fresh can but still ended up with a ton of pretty backgrounds. I used a paper party plate to put my shaving cream on. I dripped my reinkers onto this once I'd smoothed it out. Unfortunately, because of the thinness of the cream, lots of the color dropped down below the cream, but I still had some small dots on the surface. I used my toothpick to spread the color around in a marbled fashion. I then laid my stencil over the paper and scooped up some of the marble cream with my plastic card and smeared it across the stencil. I laid this card out on the horizontal adding silver framing around the stenciled panel and a Real Red base. I put the whole card into my mini MISTI because I was stamping over the blue areas and wanted to be sure it could be seen. I'm glad I did because it took 3 stampings to get it nice and bold. I punched some mittens and popped them up on dimensionals. I used liquid glue to lay out my twine in a heart shape and then laid the mittens over it cutting off excess twine.

Gail,
those mittens are adorable in the plaid and plane tops! A beautiful snowy background! I love that you made a heart out of the strings from the mittens around your sentiment!
