Make it Monday #168 - Baby Wipe Stamping

Good morning friends.  This week Ashley Cannon-Newell from Papertrey Ink has challenged us to use a baby wipe as a stamp pad, and create some almost like "tie-dye" patterns with our stamps. I was familiar with this technique, and had just posted a card a few weeks back that you can check out here .  It really is fun experimenting with different color re-inkers and seeing what you come up with! :0)  Most of you know I complained ALLLLLLL winter long, and how I longed for warmer weather and brighter colors, and now today I am going to show you a fall card!  Couldn't help it, just LOVED these colors together!  Take a look:



I used PTI's "Simple Sunflower" stamp set, and made my "ink pad" with Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie, & Daffodil Delight re-inker's (SU!).  I hadn't planned on the pop-dotted flower in the center, but this can be a messy technique and I made a smudge I needed to cover up.  It all worked for the good though, as I really like how it gives a little more visual interest to the otherwise one layer card! :0)  My sentiment is from PTI's "Wet Paint" set.  Didn't have any sun to photograph with yesterday, so you can't see, but I sprayed the whole card with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist, and in the right light, it really shimmers! :0)  Now all I have to do is put it away until this fall for one of the many birthdays we celebrate in October and November...hey, I'll be one card ahead!! :0)

Make sure you check out Ashley's video on how to do this technique, and all the card entries over on Nichole Heady's Blog .

Thanks so much for stopping by today and enjoy your Wednesday! :0)

Don't think this is necessarily fall, love it for summer too! One of fav sets and you did proud! Beautiful multi-stamping of gorgeous colors together! Have to try that gold glimmer, love the results. Glad to see you made you boo boo a happy accident too!

Beautiful card! And the popped up flower really does add to your design, so that was a very happy accident!

Great colors together & I love the popped up flower - perfect solution for a little stray ink :)

Great colors... just perfect for those sunflowers! In scrapbooking we used to say "there's no such things as accidents, just reasons to embellish". Great "happy" accident!

These sunflowers look beautiful, Marcia ...in summer, fall and/or spring colors. Great end result to a little oops ;-)
