I wanted to show ways you could use wet wipes in card making so I designed a fun psychedelic birthday card with a tie die look to it. We first stamped the background to make our own custom pattern. We stamped the girl to create a tie die dress, cut out and placed on top of the shadow image in background. We finally used the wet wipe to die a silk flower from the pretties kit. We stamped the saying and punched out in the small oval shape and layered over a coloured large oval. We used Diamond Glaze and re-inkers to form a coloured enamel in the stylized ribbon slide and then assembled it all together.

I wanted a card that would be appropriate for fathers day if applicable. I just loved the little guy and had to use this one at least once! We used another baby wipe technique stamping the words in first and then using the wipe to fill the background paper. We used the circle punch to round the edges of the sentiment strip. We distressed the ribbon and sewed it onto the greeting piece with hemp thread. We watercoloured the image with SU! markers and high percentage alcohol (in a Aqua Painter) layering and layering to add shadows and a more real look...

This card uses a chalkboard technique (light colours on a dark background)... I know someone who loves hummingbirds so had to try :) I stamped the flower base in craft ink so it jumps off the page at you less than the bird as he is our focal and the flower... With the chalkboard technique we first rubbed the paper with the Embossing Buddy and layered white craft ink, then dabbed the pastel into the wet ink. Afterwards the excess chalk pretty much rubbed off with a brush or a Kleenex!

This card uses many techniques combined together. We ran a wheel down the centre (some used the guide, some not, depending on if desired a straight or more organic feel). We used a mask over the page and stamped the script in silver and used the sponge cut into a section to dab the green over. We then did two step stamping with the daffodils and cut the paper afterwards with mat and blade to create an out of the box effect. The center was mounted on dimentionals. Some cards looked better on a diagnal some straight, depending on how the flowers lay.
