I made this card to send to our beautiful daughter Lauren who has just won NZ Hairdresser of the Year. We are so proud of her. nzherald.co.nz/viva/beauty/viva-beauty-awards-winners-2025
I made the background using shaving foam and food colouring (a great technique which leaves ordinary card feeling like velvet and looking like marble), re-inkers can be used for stronger effects - google cardmaking with shaving foam. The stamp is a very old Judikins (one of the first stamps I ever bought probably 2005), which is actually a wooden cube with images on 4 sides - I stamped it in soft black to look like marble. The crown die is a Spellbinders which cuts and embosses (also really old), and don't know what the sentiment is (let me know). Finished with tiny gold pearls.

Wow Carol, first of all, congrats to your daughter. You must be so proud of her! And she will surely love this card. I appreciate all the time you took to make it just so. The gold is stunning and I love how it pops agains the marbled look of the rest of the card. I have done the shaving cream technique once before and it is fun. I should do it again. Thanks so much for sharing with us over at Word Art Wednesday. We really appreciate your talents!
A very proud Mum moment and quite rightly so by the sounds of it Carol. A very special card to reflect it which I am sure will be cherished.
Thank you for joining in at Allsorts challenge and a reminder of shaving foam which I've not done for absolutely ages.
