Simon Says Stamp and Show challenges us this week to show our Messy Side.  I have to admit I am a messy stamper and enjoy getting my fingers inky.  The messiest technique that popped into mind for me was the shaving cream technique.  

I decided to create a triptych with gold embossing over a shaving cream backgrounds.

Background:

1. Spray shaving cream on craft mat. 
2. Spray into the shaving cream  glimmer mists (Blue, Yellow) 
3. Swirl glimmer mists together in shaving cream. 
4. Place cardstock onto inky shaving cream. pull up and scrape off excess shaving cream. I use my plastic ruler to shave my cardstock.  
5. Let dry. 

This is so messy but you end up smelling like shaving cream.

I ended up smearing gold paint over the surface as an accident but it actually gave it a nice soft color.  I then added liquid pearl drops around the edges that were silver.  I waited for them to dry and sponged the gold paint over them.

I stamped the lace stamp using Versamark across the bottom and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I stamped the flowers using Versamark and heat emboss using gold embossing powder.

I stamped butterflies using Versamark on the same background paper. I heat embossed them using the gold embossing powder.

I decided I wanted the flowers to pop and thought I would try coloring them with white watercolor pencils and the effect reminded me of stain glass and I loved how it turned out.

I framed everything in black to make it pop and then added the sentiment using black ink.
