One of two cards today using the shaving cream embossing technique. This is not embossing card stock after it has been colored with dyed shaving cream. Rather, it's a technique where the shaving cream dyed with reinkers is pressed into the crevices of an embossing folder before the folder is run through a machine with white card stock in it. The goal is to get the color only on the parts of the card stock that are raised/embossed. Unfortunately, the results are not always that crisp, as evident in the lower left corner of this card. I still like the results thought, despite the minor imperfections.
Ink: Color Splash Recollections Ombre Inkpad (only seafoam green color used), reinkers in green galore, gable green, glorious green and almost amethyst
Accessories: Tropical Paisley embossing folder by Sizzix

Beautiful, soft color. I love those greens and know they are much bolder than that but I really like this result. So pretty! And it is fun to see an Oval All stamp in use. Fabulous embossing folder too.
