Mr Painter Shaving Foam Background

I thought that a shaving foam background combined with using actual paint with the mask, would make a fun card using the Mr Painter stamps from Clarity Crafts.
Make a background on Clarity stencil card using shaving foam, Uncharted Mariner and Tumbled Glass Distress reinkers.
Die cut a topper using the 4.5” nested square die and a mat from black card using the corresponding picot die.
Add part of the mask from the Mr Painter set. 
Add a light layer of white acrylic paint over the bottom of the topper with a sponge and allow to dry thoroughly. Remove the masking. Stamp the painter with the brush onto the topper in Jet Black Archival ink.
Stamp the painter a second time onto the shaving foam background and fussy cut the overalls.
Add the overalls to the topper using a Pritt stick.
Add colour to the rest of the image using Faber-Castell Polychromos (#247, #234, #146, #149, #108, #132, #102, #189, #172, #121).
Add the sawhorse from the stamp set in the same ink as before.
Add a paint pot on top likewise.
Colour as before (#146, #149, #233, #234).
Add an off cut of the shaving foam background to a 6” x 6” white card blank and trim to fit.
Mat up the topper and add it to the front of the card.
To finish, add one of the sentiments in Jet Black archival ink.
