Cardmaking Babywipe tutorial for Totally Techniques Blog Hop
Oh my it's been a long while since I blogged. Sadly we had a very close family member pass away just before Christmas and it has taken time to come to terms with and move forward. Thanks for your patience.
However I'm back and now joining the Totally Techniques Global Stampin' Up! demonstrator blog hop. We are sharing tips and ideas for using the baby wipe technique in different ways. I created the back ground of the card above, the flowers and the leaves by using a baby wipe.
Once you have created your scrunched baby wipe backgrounds you can die cut the sheets or cut to suit your needs for your card background. If you make your own ink pad you can then stamp and die cut lots of images and save them for other cards. The ink pad you create will last for several stamps! Be aware that the ink will continue to bleed across the wipe and will eventually not be a nice colour so you'll need to dispense with it then responsibly. Wash out your stamp case and keep for another technique or to repeat this one another day.
This is my second card which as you will see in the video I stamped the background and then added flowers and foliage along with gems and sentiment. I used the Hooray for Surprises stamps and dies to stamp pretty flowers and then die cut them and also the leaves.

Handmade Card Idea using circles
Yes just cut 3 circles of different sizes and cut them in half. To make it easy fold them gently and pinch the ends of the fold to give you a cutting line. Then all you need to do is layer them and connect the patterns a little with the joins then being covered with your sentiment.
I added some stamped and punched flowers using the Petal Park stamp set. Although you can't tell in the picture I used Cajun Craze ink to stamp the flowers and sentiment and then to add a matt layer. It's not a colour I reach for often, but with a small amount on the DSP used it hightighted the designs and enhanced the pretty pink.
Using some flat backed pearls add a touch of luxe and the irridescent nature of the them added subtle shimmer. I also love the fern 3D embossing folder.
As a final touch I used a couple of markers to add some dots to carry the colour theme through the design, you can just spot them in the bottom right of my picture.
I hope you give this easy technique a try which looks great with patterned papers, plain card stock in different colours or something sparkly too.
Have a great week.
Happy stamping hugs Zoe x
