Tarheel Stamper - Shaving Cupcake

Have you seen the Dairy Queen commercial with the shaving bunnies.   I thought it was strange and funny.  LOL  I used a faux shaving cream technique for this card.  So that is why I put shaving cupcake for the title.

This card is for one of my "daughters" birthday.  I loved making the accent strip for this card.  It is so easy and cleans up quickly.  I have added a video on my You Tube channel - Tarheel Stamper on how to do the faux shaving cream technique with Stampin' Up!'s Clear-Mount acrylic blocks. I used the largest one we sell. The video is embeded in this post at the end of the supplies list.   This was so much fun and not as messy as the original shaving cream technique, which by the way is gorgeous.
