Welcome to our brand-new series of Quick Crafts! In these videos, I will be talking you through a super-quick craft from different areas of the arty world!
Today is a fun video which talks you through creating marbling effects using items from around the house! I show you how to create inky backgrounds using the TEXT{ures} watercolour inks from my range in two colourways, but lots of inks work for this technique. If you love a spot of messy crafting then this is for you! The beauty of using shaving foam is that you have lots of control over the application of colour, it stops inks from mixing too much. Experiment with what you have in you stash to come up with some works of art! Die-cut, stamp, fold - the possibilities are endless for your finished pieces!
