Experiments with shaving foam and dry pigment powders... Do they work? 

I enjoy watching you play and especially like the fact that you do not give up. It may not have been what you originally intended, but it certainly made a very pretty card. There's a good life lesson in that! Thank you for sharing! 👍💕 PS - I think you should consider making an entire video of clips of your Mr. Siri interactions as a Christmas special! This one was the best yet! 🤣

I love that you do experiments and share it was us!! Christine, you videos are so very helpful!! I always learn something new!! Thanks so much!🥰

Thank you so much Christine I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and beautiful card. I really really love ❤️ everything about it, and that Butterfly 🦋 is really really cute and adorable too. So there’s no failure as far as I’m concerned. Just Win Win. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

You got a wonderful card out of your "failed" experiment. How disappointing that that Gold didn't really show up. Putting those three butterflies on top of each other in different card really made a unique butterfly. Enjoy your experimenting. Sometimes our failures can be made into successes with a little ingenuity.

So beautiful!! And CRIKIE from Mr. Siri was hilarious!!!!❤❤❤

I almost laugh till I cry, when Siri interupts! Your cards are so beautiful, and some are mysterious, as I wonder how they are made. You do a wonderful job Chrissie, I also go over to Instagram to see your finished projects. ❤😊🤣

And the joy of watching you create goes on …. Thank you

Beautiful card, and I so enjoyed the playing with the shaving cream and powders. Standing by for results from new shaving cream🙂

Love watching your experiments! I quite liked them, and the one you cut the larger flower out of, I could see mountains in it! I got a Sprinkle It, but half a pot has gone one 1⃣ piece and you can't see it like mica, and it got in my stamps! I've seen Jo Rice at Lavinia stamping Versamark and sprinkling it over, so that's another option. Please tell your Mr Siri to stop making me laugh, as it hurts! 😂 One of my favourite experiments with pastes was with clear, through a stencil, onto acetate, sprinkle tiny amounts of Brusho and mica, spray with minimal amount of water, take away stencil, and fingers crossed! My stencil was circles, looked like amazing planets. Can't wait to get back to my craftdesk, until then, extra appreciating all your time and generosity sharing ❤

I love watching you craft, makes me laugh when you talk to yourself. I do the same thing😂. I love this technique and your card turned out so pretty. Thanks for sharing.

Love hearing Mr Siri chime in randomly. 😂 I like the blue brushos for water, ocean themes. Been a while since I got them out. You have tweaked my interest again😁

I bet we all laughed with you when your Siri said "I don't see Crickey in your contacts list" ... What a fabulous technique I might try this with Mica powders. Beautiful. ❤

Oh Chris I do love your videos and you are such a natural at creating them. I love the way you are not frightened to experiment and try all sorts of techniques, which is great for all us card makers, and inspires us to have a go. Thank you so much for sharing xx

Oh my that was hilarious with Mr Siri, i am crying with laughter. Love the way you experiment xx

Absolutely beautiful!

How funny mr Siri is. Lol Christine have loved watching you experiment. I thought the little blue butterfly card was so nice. I have been in my craft room experimenting too. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m using more and more of my stash and believe me I have plenty

Mr. Siri had me laughing out load, my dog looked at me like I was crazy. Great video, love when you share all your play with us, I am glad you had fun, I did watching. Very pretty card end result. Thanks Christine!!

how many people are talking to the computer saying 'shake it more!' if not that then the can is empty.... nice idea with the powders!

I'v seen this technique earlier. You get even better result when you scrape off the foam with your palletknife. Then you do not smear it. Nice card!!

Love the effect of the shaving cream. I knew I would love it❣️

Amazing you show us so many techniques it’s hard to know where to start. Thank you for sharing

Really pretty, especially the tri colour butterfly.

Christine, you are the BEST! "I don't see a crikey in your contacts"!!!😂

It is fun watching you try experimenting with powders and what would we do without Mr. Siri. Jenny 🇨🇦😊

I laughed right out loud at Mr Siri!! That was a fun video to see trial and errors! Thank you. Your videos always make my day!

Ah, I somehow missed this video first go round. So glad it turned up while revisiting my favorites of yours. Beautiful! Thanks so much! From Cheryl in AZ

Mr Siri strikes again, he’s very determined 😊. Very pretty card, love the triple layered butterfly! Thank you for the experiment, so surprising how different mediums react on the shaving foam. Take care.

Love to watch you experiment. It was so interesting, and the card looks gorgeous 🩵💚💙

Crikey! I laughed so hard. I must try making some backgrounds with shaving foam. Thanks for sharing.❤️

LOVED this ....and am still having a good laugh about your Mr. Syrri's comments!

After your experimenting the finished card is very pretty.

I put pigment powder directly into the foam & wow what a FANTASTIC Result!!!

Love watching your videos. Seeing things go amiss for the experts just like it does for us. From the US, you are always good for a giggle.

Oh Mr. Siri, he cracks me up! He really needs a friend and I guess you are that friend Chrissie. LOL Interesting experiment and the results are not at all what I expected. It will be interesting to see if you get the same results with the new shaving cream, I don't think you will, but you have to see to be sure. The brusho results were disappointing to say the least, not bad...but not my favorite but not bad. I loved the mica power results, different but so cool looking. The brusho results look nice on your card though! I think these backgrounds will be great exactly the way you used them....in small doses. LOVE this card! Hugs, Brenda

Gales of laughter from Australia at that watch! We often use ‘crikey’ Down Under.

Fun watching your experiment today, Christine! Per my usual comments, I do have Brushos somewhere………..I do love the colors of the Indigo Blu powders, they are gorgeous. Will be awaiting the results of the new shaving foam1

Enjoying all the experiments! 👏😊💕

I think u r to use the tip of the palette knife to swirl the color in the foam rather than the bottom of the blade - it should make the marble effects more “delicate” looking. So pretty! TFS.

Omg Christine I had such a laugh with you today. Thank you for that I needed that.

Very nice design! TFS

Inspired I tried something similar to this. I got some random blue pigments in a stack from Temu. I also had some Co-op shaving *gel* in the bathroom. The gel broke down into foam when I stirred it with a palette knife but the pigment didn't really react with it in any way. I didn't add water and I've ended up with what looks like cloud on bit of white paper. I've wiped some of them and others I'll leave to dry. My whole flat smells of whatever the Co-op put in their shaving gel!!

I have always found that the shaving foam sprays better when you hold the can upright, not at the angle you are using. Hold the plate up at an angle and try spraying it that way. See if it works better. Very pretty results, either way. BTW; Mr. Siri really cracked me up. 🤣😂🤣

I’ve had wonderful results doing this shaving foam technique. When I did it I used the Colour Burst powders and they spread out differently every time. My best results were using glossy photo paper - colours and designs didn’t smear as I squeegeed off the foam. Think I’ll revisit this technique again after watching your video

So pretty, Love the butterfly. TY

I don't think I've laughed this hard in years!! "I don't see a Crikey in your contacts " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 On a crafty note, I love watching you experiment with craft techniques.

For an experiment I'd call that a great success, love it! The first time I used the shaving foam technique many moons a go I made a beautiful meringue!!! I have learnt a lot of tips and tricks watching your videos, thank you Chris 😊

Haven’t tried that yet..but it is on my list to try..thanks for all your effort

That turned out beautiful 🦋

Love your experiments! 😁💖🙏🙌

Try keeping the can upright and hold the paper plate on its side. I reckon your foam will exit the can better!

I will be interested to see if it was the shaving cream and if it makes a difference in the outcome. It turned out to be a very pretty card none the less 👍

It is quite pretty!

Love the effect on the vellum. What a great idea!!

Also, I use a large scraper rather than a paper towel to get the excess foam off and scrape down only once to avoid transferring the color to the rest of the card stock - like the We R Memory Keepers large bone folder, for example.

So very pretty😅 no matter how much Mr. Siri 😮tries to take center stage! 😊😂

Glad you got more shaving foam. Your card turned out beautiful. Hope you got the colour off your hands

Very successful!😊

oh crikey! that was hilarious!

I think the brushes and sprinkle its need much more water in order to interact with each other. The sprinkle its are an Added "effect" rather than a color.

Well done for managing to upload your video. I love your technique. It’s fab. The consistency might be because the can of shaving foam is coming to an end. And I love your card. It’s beautiful. BTW you can do the same with bubble bath. Add the bubble Bath to the water and stir it up until it bubbles and then add your colour and give it a stir. Take a print off of it and let it dry. Hey presto. Bubble background. Have fun and happy crafting - Dawn 🌅

I don’t see a crikey in your contacts 😂😂😂😂 Oh dear, that did give me a giggle.

This is not a not liked comment. I loved this emmensly. But I was checking to see if even a not liked comment worked because I couldn't get the liked comment to work. Sorry I am rambling.But I liked it.

Ahah! You beat me to this. This is exactly where my mind went yesterday watching your video. Thanks.

Got a good laugh from your wearing an apron remark.😅

Ok j ai vu la vidéo ! Comme souvent les fonds sont des fois décevants mais en découpe ... ça le fait . Dommage que vous ne serez pas la qd moi j essaierai car ça vous consommerait j en suis sûr 😂

Good one lol😂

I wonder if you could get a different effect if you stirred with a toothpick or thin skewer instead of the pallet knife?

Shake theshaving foam alot x

Hi. Thank you for sharing your journey into shaving foam art, it's intriguing and while those blue prints didn't have a sheen they were still gorgeous with all that marbling. Needless to say that was one fabulous butterfly, even if it technically three in the first place! Have a wonderful day. And thanks again.😁

Christine would you happen to know the name of that Sizzix background die? I love it! And I love that you use so many blue and green pallettes in your work. Those are my favorite!

LOL. Siri is so funny!

I use food coloring

I wonder if your shaving foam can should be held upright?

Your videos are worth watching just for the Siri comments alone.😆 Crikey!!

Crickey 🤣😂

Your shaving foam probably needs to be shaken vigorously to produce the airy foam needed
