I have card 26 ready for you! I know it's a little late in the day, but I had to help get the hubs packed up. He's going river rafting for the weekend, woohoooo!! That means that I get to craft alllll weekend lol.
So, todays card I am using a technique called 'The Baby Wipe Technique'. Yes, its exactly like it sounds - I'm using baby wipes! lol … I'll explain it as we go. You can use any brand baby wipes you have. I always have baby wipes on hand. Not only for when my grandbabies come over, but I also use them quite a bit in the craft room for cleaning off stamps, wiping off my mat or work surface, cleaning my clear blocks, etc.
Here are the products that I'm using for todays card (minus the baby wipes) …
I pulled out 3 baby wipes and a plastic stamp case. You can use any type of plastic case or lid to put the baby wipes on. You just need something to protect your surface. I folded each baby wipe in half, then half again and placed them in the stamp case …
On the first baby wipe, I dripped drops of the Flirty Flamingo re-inker randomly. Then, I dripped the Calypso Coral re-inker to fill in the area. You don't have to worry about filling in every space, because the ink will absorb and spread. The only thing you have to watch is that your area is large enough for the stamp you're using …
I did the same procedure for the other 2 baby wipes … one using Bermuda Bay & Pacific Point re-inkers, and the other one using Pear Pizzazz & Garden Green re-inkers. You can use absolutely any color combinations that you'd like, I just thought these looked good together …
Now that that's all prepped, its time to start stamping! I started with the 'fat' leaf and tap, tap, tap into the Bermuda Baby/Pacific Point baby wipe - straight down and straight up. Then I stamped it onto the scrap of Whisper White cardstock. You need 3 of these leaves. If you don't like the 'look' of them, just keep stamping until you get the ones you like …
Using the small flower stamp, I tapped onto the Flirty Flamingo/Calypso Coral baby wipe and stamped it. You need 5 of these flowers. Again, keep stamping until you get 5 that you like …
I did the same using the other leaf stamp, tapping into the Pear Pizzazz/Garden Green baby wipe. You'll need 3 of these images …
If you're using the stamp case, you can store 2 of the baby wipes inside. They'll stay moist for quite awhile, allowing you to reuse them over and over again …
Now it's time to cut everything out! I brought my stamped images over to my Big Shot and used the Tropical Die Set to cut everything out …
I placed the piece of Basic Black cardstock on my work surface, and began arranging the stamped images …
Once I arranged all of the leaves to where I wanted them, I added adhesive and began adhering them to the Basic Black cardstock …
I stamped the sentiment on the Flirty Flamingo cardstock with Melon Mambo ink, then punched it out with the 2" Circle Punch …
I added adhesive to the back and attached it to the center of the card, then began arranging the flowers …
I decided to add a dimensional to each of the flowers and attached them to the card front …
I added adhesive to the back of the Basic Black cardstock and attached it to the Flirty Flamingo card base. Since the card base is a light color, I didn't feel the need to add a piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside …
Here's the finished card …
