Faux Shaving Cream

by Beate Johns

Create a marbled look on your stamped image.

Supplies

  • Stamping Wheel

  • Solid Stamp

  • Dye Inks

  • Neutral Cardstock

  • Marker (optional)

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Ink up your solid stamp with one of your classic ink colors.

  2. Step 2

    Ink up your Stamping Wheel either with an ink cartridge or by rolling over another ink pad with a complimentary color.

  3. Step 3

    Place your Wheel on your solid stamp and twist it.
    You can also swipe the wheel over the stamp.

  4. Continue to twist or swipe your wheel until you have transfered enough ink from your wheel to your stamp.
    This will create your marbled look.

  5. Step 4 (Optional)

    Use a marker to outline your solid stamp. I used the same color that the wheel was inked up with.

  6. Step 5

    Huff on your stamp. That will remoisten the image. Now stamp your image on neutral cardstock.

  7. Step 6

    Finish your card.

This looks like fun. Reminds me of the Kissing Technique, but with a twist. LOL

Is this the same technique as the kissing technique (TLC01) that Beth explained there? Sorry for asking always stupid questions, I just try to figure out where the differences are and how things are working. And I don't have a stamping wheel, so, if this is the same or similar technique, I could try the other one instead. By the way, I love your card!
Thanks for answering,

Nessie,

That's just like the kiss & Twist technique, just done with a wheel.

LOVE IT! Why is it called a Faux Shaving Cream technique? And what if you don't have a wheel?

Leslie,
it's called Faux Shaving cream because it gives you a similar look like the shaving cream technique...without the shaving cream.

Check the Kissing with a Twist tutorial for a similar technique using small stamps instead of wheels to add the pattern.

Does it matter what wheel you use?

Lisa,
It doesn't matter what wheel you use.

I didn't even use a wheel. I used a small stamp instead. I also didn't have a marker to outline the main stamp so I rolled the edges of the stamp around on the darker color ink pad so it would look outlined, just like when you do the Rock and Roll technique.

Beate - this looks like a lot of fun..I'll try it soon!

WOW This is great!!!!

WOW! This is so much simpler and MUCH LESS messy than the shaving cream technique! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! I used it to make an Easter card, using the cross from Refuge and Strenght and it came out BEAUTIFULLY!!

Hi Beate, This is a great looking card. Did you use a template to pierce the holes in the circle. I tried to do this free hand but none of the holes were even.
