I recently used the "wax paper technique" at a shoebox and it seemed to go over BIG!!!

I went to the Illinois Shoebox Swap and was wowed by StampinSue's marble technique. You can search for that to see pictures. You get two empty stamp cases (the size of background stamps) and put some marbles in them. Then drip a couple drops of reinker in it and roll around to cover the marbles. Then stick your cardstock to the inside top of the case and flip over so that the marbles roll around on the paper creating a swirly look. Repeat with other case and other color. Very impressive. We were all blown away.

I agree with Randi, the rolling marble was very cute. We did it at my last technique class and it was well received.

Not sure i can attach the pic.. but you can see it in my gallery.
