Baby Wipe Technique as an Ink Pad
I promised to share how to use Baby Wipes as an ink pad and then life got busy (with a HUGE garage sale) and the SUDSOL tour and I didn't get it done
So wanted to share how the fun technique with you.
Supplies needed:
Paper Plate
Baby Wipes
Reinkers
A solid stamp is best for highlighting the different colors
Step 1: Fold Baby Wipe and add reinkers – making your “stamp pad” the size of the stamp you plan to use. I used the Printed Petals set (116679, page 106) for a fun, big flower.
When you add your reinkers, start with the darkest colors and then fill in with your lighter colors
Stamp your image
Here are the cards I made

Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red Reinkers

I free-hand cut the stem and used my white Gel Pen (105021, page 195) to mark the center. I folded a piece of Old Olive Card Stock in half and ran it through the crimper. I then cut out “football” shapes on the crease line to get the “veined” looked for the leaves.
