Notes
Helpful tips:
- Press down on the cardstock: Make sure that every part of the template touches the shaving cream by gently pressing down on the sheet of cardstock.
- Don't let the cardstock get too wet: Scrape off the shaving cream as quickly as possible to prevent the pattern from getting blurry. (Using watercolor paper may help.)
- Experiment with the coloring: Try using different quantities of coloring to see what kind of pattern you like best.
