    #DOswts361 - Baby Wipe Technique Inspiration Hop - featuring Quiet Meadow Stamp Set

     

    It's time again for the STARs Monthly Inspiration Hop, today it is all about the stamping using a baby wipe as the stamp pad.   I have not used this technique in years and I forgot how fun it is to create multi color images.  I used the single flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set.  My card design is inspired by Maureen Rootes, a UK Demo.  




    Card Details
    • Paper
      • Gorgeous Grape CS card base 11" x 4 1/4, score and fold at 5 1/2
      • Basic White CS layer 5 1/4" x 4" 
      • Vellum 1 3/4" x 5"
      • Scraps
        • Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody,  Melon Mambo
    • Stamps
      • 155082 Quiet Meadow or bundle w/ Meadow Dies 155487 (available 5/4)
    • Ink
      • Daffodil Delight 
      • Gorgeous Grape 
      • Highland Heather 
      • Mango Melody
      • Melon Mambo 
      • Sahara Sand
      • Versa Mark
    • Embellishments
      • Playful Alphabet Dies
      • White Emboss Powder
      • 155567 Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials (available 5/4)


    TIP:  I secured the vellum to the backside of the Basic White layer using Stampin Seal and folding the edges toward the back of the card.  Then after attaching the the die cut letter with glue I added a few glue dots hidden behind the letters to hold down the vellum.  Second tip, Clear Epoxy Essentials can be colored with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. 





    Baby Wipe Technique Product List


    There are lots of videos on You Tube of the Baby Wipe Technique.  Two main components are wipes and ink refills, then of course finding the perfect stamp for you project.  Give this technique a try it is lots of fun and the color combos are endless.

        • Basic White CS - 5 1/4" x 4" 
      • Stamps 
        • 155082 Quiet Meadow or Bundle 155487 -  (available 5/4)

      TIP:  Use a mask, blending brush and ink to create border.  A water painter and water to splatter dots of water on the cardstock before removing mask.  My mask size is 2 1/2" x 4" and cut from cardstock.  Copy paper, sticky notes, and stamping masking paper are great tools for masking.  Just cut to desired size.
