Post Card

I just love all the color around me this time of year.  It is so different from the beautiful flowers that come with spring.  Oranges, reds, yellows, greens, burgundy, purple....and the list goes on!  All these wonderful colors for fall!!! 

I wanted to use so many different colors on one of the fall cards I was making for class that I decided to use the baby wipe technique and blend a few colors together.  One of the ladies was a little late today, so I decided to make another card using the same stamps and ink, but mix it up a bit.  Here are my cards I made.

                                                                 

This first card is the one I originally made for class.  Note the ink spot in the top right hand corner.  This happened during class.  After class I decided to see what I could do to fix is so I sponged this second one with Early Espresso to give it a more vintage look which hid the boo boo too!

Here's the other card I made with the ladies in class!

Baby Wipe Technique:

You will need baby wipes and ink refills.  (I've seen several ways to do this on the web.  This is how I did it.)

1. Fold baby wipe in square.
2. Ink stamp on ink pad (I used Old Olive since it was a color I would be using in the ink "pad" I would be creating), and stamp image on baby wipe.
3. Now that you the size of area you need to cover with the ink refills, you place random drops of ink from your choice of colors on the baby wipe filling in the entire stamped area.
4. Ink your stamp using the baby wipe pallet as you ink pad.
5. Stamp on paper.
6. Enjoy the "look"!
