Shaving foam background

For this card I've used the 'shaving foam background technique (there is a tutorial here if you haven't come across this before). This was stamped with one of my favourite Magenta stamps.

I used the sketch for Stamptacular 119:

Papers are again from the Pink Petticoat wild blossoms collection (the pad was still out and they are so pretty so I couldn't resist using some again). Dotty sticky ribbons and sentiment added.

This is also for:

The stamp man 27: anything by T!m! (I used alcohol inks with the shaving foam)
Sentimental Sundays 63: inky fingers - unconventional stamping materials or techniques
Pile it on 28: show us your favourite technique (one of my favourites - anything with inking and stamping)
Moving along with the times 103: favourite things - inking and stamping and papers
Phindy's Friday 63: pretty pastels
Ladybug 35: summer birthdays
Penny's 57: happy birthday
Ruby's rainbow 7: happy birthday
Hanna and friends 102: happy birthday
Southern girls 23: happy birthday
I did it: floral
Irish teddy's: flowers
Shabby tea room 70: flower power
Scrappy frogs: summer flowers
