Mix Ability - Just Add Patience - oxidized shaving cream technique. I swirled the reinkers into the shaving cream - and then went shopping! I actually only waited 4 hours till I smooshed the card into the shaving cream - but I think it was long enough. I got 5 pulls out of it so will use this background again!
I ended up covering most of my beautiful background, stenciling this really big tortoise in black embossing paste - but I think he looks great there taking up most of the card! I added 3 schools of fish - who are on their way back to school (!)
Happy weekend everyone - we're just starting to get some rain/thunder that has been crossing MA this afternoon!

That bold stenciled tortoise is really cool on your bg. The tiny schools of fish are pretty cute..clever idea. And wasn't this a fun technique...and we all have leftovers for more cards

A beautiful card. I love the shaving cream background. It goes so well with the turtle. I was happy to see your school of fish. I hoped they learned something in class today. . Thanks for joining us for the Free 4 All challenge.

I love the sentiment with this big tortoise! Enough of that fabulous shaving cream background shows through in between shell segments that you can still see how gorgeous it is! I'll bet the embossing paste is a great texture IRL!
