The making of a Mother's Day card




This is an easy way of creating 'marbled paper' I found on Pinterest. You can find more detailed instructions here. (I can't claim any credit for the idea).
In a nutshell, you squirt shaving foam over a tray (we used a plastic chopping board), and squeeze poster paint over the top, which you then swirl into patterns and press the paper over the top. Remove the foam with a squeegee (car-window scraper will suffice), and the pattern from the paint remains. We made several of these, and have used them for various greetings cards, including the Mother's Day card featured in the following blog post.
