There's still time to join in at
CAS Mix Up!
I'm hosting the challenge this month and this is what I chose....
There are a lot of ways to use baby wipes on cards.
We keep discovering new ones.
I used this technique from Kia's video tutorial.
I LOVE this technique. It's like magic when you wipe it down.
I did learn that some photo paper doesn't work well,
but this HP worked like a dream!
I smooshed Distress Oxide on my craft sheet, spritzed with water and
dipped the glossy photo paper into the ink.
I used several colors, drying between each color, until I was
happy with the coverage.
When the paper was colored and dry, I stamped the image,
using the MISTI so I could stamp more than once if needed.
I let that dry REAL good and wiped it down with a baby wipe
and watched the magic happen.
I've used a die to emboss the edge and put the design image on foam.
My mixed media are Baby Wipe Technique, Stamping and Dry Embossing with a Die.
I hope you'll try this or another of the baby wipe techniques.
There are video tutorials at CAS Mix Up.

I love the vibrant gorgeous colours and the flower stamp AND you have just layered it and not framed it, it can certainly stand on its own merits.
ReplyDeleteI keep saying I am going to buy inks then can't decide which to buy, when I see so many gorgeous cards by you and others.
