I wanted to do a lavender/purple birthday card as that is granddaughters favorite color(s). I embossed the flower and sentiment with Soft Subtle Lavender EP on Elegant Eggplant and chose Lavender Lace for the card base. Needed another color. No DP that would work, couldn't find another color I was happy with and Scraptitude was down. White was too stark and didn't like the idea of sponging it. Don't know why, just didn't. I've been wanting to try the shaving cream technique so decided to do that. I added a little Purple Pearl Ex to the mixture. Doesn't show in the pic but it does sparkle IRL. DH asked how I made the background and he was so beside himself about using HIS shaving cream! He's usually very laid back. Guess I'll have to buy him more shaving cream In the end I'm pretty pleased with this card. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! TFL
