The baby wipe technique is such a fun and easy way to get lots of color onto a stamped image. This month in my Technique Club #2 here in Prescott - it was the technique we learned. Here is the technique card we added to our binder -
Above we did several colors on our baby wipe and made the balloons - every one that you stamp looks different. And below is he actual greeting card we made with the technique.
For the card we made a baby wipe palette of about five different colors (more than usual but we were only stamping once or twice, so it didn't get muddied.) After stamping our verse - we cut out a beautiful butterfly with pink glimmer paper and added it with a few glue dots.
The glue dots were only on the body of the butterfly allowing the wings to pop up a bit, and give the card some dimension.
Just love the final look of this beautiful spring card. See you soon! ~Maureen
So I left you with this teaser yesterday - HERE
And this is the card we made with that pallet. I took the leaf from the Limited Time "Thoughtful Branches" set - and first, using the pad above we stamp several leaves on the base. Then we used the speckles from "Gorgeous Grunge" and the pad above to add some pretty splatters to the base. Stamped the verse from "Thoughtful Branches" in Pumpkin Pie ink. We then stamped several leaves and cut them out along with the other open weave leaves from the set. To complete we tied some of SU's linen thread around the card and finished it with a bow. We curled the leaves around a marker to give them some dimension, then added them to the card with glue dots, one at a time - making them cascade down.
I really love how this card turned out. The final accent was the little pearls that were colored with an orange sharpie. That left me with the baby wipe below - so pretty!
So I let it dry and cut out a bunch more of the leaves - now lets see if I can come up with a card for them.
See y'all soon - so happy to be making FALL items - my favorite time of the year!! ~Maureen

So our August club met and we had so much fun using the Baby Wipe Pad technique - it is basically using baby wipes as your pad, and place drops of ink colors of your choice on it to stamp your image. The moisture in the baby wipes help keep the ink wet, and let it blend - so that you end up with beautiful color palette's. For the butterflies (from Kinda Eclectic), on our technique card for their binder - we used Peekaboo Peach, Watermelon Wonder, and Pool Party.
But for the greeting card we made using the technique we used Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Tip Top Taupe - Stop back to see what we did with this amazing group of colors.
This club is full - but I am in the process of forming a second club. If you are interested and live in Prescott, AZ or the surrounding area - please email me. My email is on the right sidebar. See you soon! ~Maureen
