#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

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.

        #DOswts360 - Sketch Inspiration Hop - Featuring Dragonfly Garden

         


        Hey Crafty Friends!!!  It's time for the April Sketch Inspiration Hop.  Today I am using the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and Dandy Garden DSP,  both are part of the Dandy Garden Suite and can be found on pages 24 -27 of the Jan-Jun Mini Catalog.     




        Card Details
        • Paper
          • Blackberry Bliss CS card base 11 " x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2"
          • Basic White CS layer 5 1/4" x  4", plus scrap 
          • Dandy Garden DSP   1" x 3" (2 each) and 1 x 2 1/4" (2 each)
        • Stamps
          • Dragonfly Garden
        • Ink 
          • Bumblebee, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy
        • Accessories 
          • Tasteful Labels Dies, Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim,  2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots, Blender Pen


        Tip: I used the Blender Pen and ink to add a bit of color to the larger flowers.  Bumblebee on the petals and Early Espresso in the flower centers.  Adding color with a blender pen is a quick way to take ink directly from the ink pad and it is easy to control the color intensity.   Give Blender Pens ( #102845).
