. Faux Shaving Cream

  Directions:
  1. Ink a wheel with a solid-texture image (Figure 1). For example, you would want to select a bold wheel rather than a wheel with a line art image; the more lines on the wheel, the finer the texture in the image.
  2. Ink a bold stamp. Don't worry about making sure that the stamp is evenly covered (Figure 2).
  3. Once your stamp is ready to go, kiss it with your wheel by swiping the wheel on the stamp. Twist your wrist as you tap, or use a side-to-side motion if you swipe (Figure 3). The key to creating the marble swirl is in this movement.
  4. Stamp your image on your project (Figure 4).

Tips:
  1. Try experimenting with two- or three-color combinations for beautiful results.
  2. You can achieve a lovely marbled effect with only one color, by kissing your stamp with an uninked wheel.
