Crafty Individuals No 1 Challenge

I made these backgrounds using the shaving foam technique with Lava Red Cosmic Shimmer Mist and Craftynotions Citrine Spraypaque. The Craftynotions certainly had the best glimmer to it;



Once made I wasn't sure what to do with them. Then when looking through my Crafty Individuals stamps for this challenge, I thought it would be great to stamp these sweet little girls on (CI-131). The background paper  from the CI Springtime pack and seemed to work well with the colours.

I may be more adventurous and use this technique as a proper background next time.
