Marbled Backgrounds Techniques for Cards

Marbled Backgrounds Techniques for Cards using shaving cream for one and a background stamp called Marbled for the other one!  Which do you prefer?  Watch my Facebook Live Replay to see the difference between these two cards!

Marbled Backgrounds Techniques

I did a Facebook Live today as I do almost every Thursday at NOON Central on my Facebook Business Page on how to create these two backgrounds.  Some stampers like to use the Marbled Background stamp while others (like me!) like to get our hands messy with Shaving Cream.  The beauty is you could do either one and still get a gorgeous background!

You can watch my video here!  I have edited it the best I could to eliminate my chatting with those that were watching me Live!  I hope you can join me one day but if not you can always watch the replay on my business page here https://www.facebook.com/sharonarmstrongstampinup/

Shaving cream not only makes your cards smell good they give beautiful backgrounds!
