Lately I have been seeing a lot of the Baby Wipe Technique. For this technique, use an empty stamp case and place any type of baby wipe in the bottom of the case. Select 3 or 4 different reinkers – some light & some darker. Staring with the lightest color of reinker, drop beads of reinker onto the baby wipe. Use more drops of the lighter color and fewer of the darker colors. Make sure that the baby wipe is saturated with no white spots visible.
Place your stamp in this just like you would in an ink pad.
As you can see, it is a very different image with lots of colors. Although a flower image would probably be better to use, I just had to try it with Nature's Peace. The reinkers that I chose were crumb cake, crushed curry, old olive and cherry cobbler.
The card base is a standard size Crumb Cake. My layers are Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive & Whisper White. The bow is tied from a length of 1/8" Old Olive Taffeta Ribbon. And, both Old Olice & Cherry Cobbler Candy Dots are used for embellishment.
While I was inking, I also inked up the Wondrous Wreath. Stay tuned to see that result. What stamp would you use this techinque with? Please leave me a comment and I just might try them.

Have you ever bought a stamp set just because you liked it but you weren't really sure how you were going to use it? I must confess that was the case for me with the stamp set Nature's Peace. But, I got it out today and it just seemed like a great image for emboss/resist.
It is a large image and I knew that I did not want to do a lot of coloring. Then I remembered a technique that my friend and fellow Stampin' Pretty Pal Ann Schach shared with us at Convention a few years ago. That technique was emboss/resist.
My card base is piece of 4-1/4" x 11" Early Espresso cardstock. In order to subtely add a bit of bling, my next layer is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Gold Foil. The image layer is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Naturals Ivory cardstock.
After using the Embossing Buddy on the cardstock, I inked the stamp up with VersaMark Ink. Because the image is so large, I made sure that I liberally covered it with White Embossing Powder. And, the magis happened when I used the Heat Tool to set the embossing powder.
Using a stamping sponge & Crumb Cake Ink, I sponged the entire image using a circular motion while going from the inside to the outside. After sponging, I used a tissue to gentle wipe ink off of the white images. This layer was adhered to my gold foil layer. As a tribute to Ann, I had to add pearls as my final touch.
This is a simple card to make – especially if you have to make a lot of Christmas cards.

Hi Folks!
I'm baaaack! And today we have a sketch challenge from Nicole Watt for the Pals Paper Arts Challenge.
My card today is with Winter in mind.
Stampin' Up! has 2 stamp seets that contain luscious snowflakes and I used them both. Letterpress Winter and Endless Wishes can both be found in the Holiday Mini Catalog. In addition, this catalog also has All Is Calm Specialty Designer paper and that was what I used to complement the stamped snowflakes.
My card base is Lost Lagoon cardstock in a standard card size. The snowflakes are embossed with Whisper White Embossing Powder. My sentiment is from the limited edition, Good Greetings. Frosted Sequins are added in a random pattern to add some sparkle.
Thank you for visiting my blog today! And remember, if you need any of the supplies used in my card, just click on the image of the item below and you will be taken to my Online Store.
Hugs,
Ginger
