HB2U


Well you can file this one under the, 'Who Knew' dept.
Ashley demonstrates using baby wipes to create her designer paper bg,
in this week's MIM at PapertreyInk.
That's right, BABY WIPES!


Ashley shows a couple of ways to use the wipes. I did a card
for my grandson, using the folded or rolled technique.


The reinkers I used are True Black & Harvest gold.


I kept it simple, letting those free form circles show.
After all, it's going to a 17 year old, who's definitely
more interested in the money inside!
The sentiment is black embossed onto a strip of 1 1/4" vellum.
Enamel dots created with Nuvo. Have you tried Nuvo?
Forms the perfect dot, any size you like.


Initial Sentiments: Birthday
The tiny dots randomly stamps are 3 dots from
Paper Clippings: Done in Love.

Also joining SSS Monday Challenge: Masculine


Enjoy your week!

  4. Great masculine card...and nice idea to roll a smaller baby wipe inside the larger one with a different color!
    I'm sure your grandson appreciates your cards more than you think. Wow, 17.... my grandson will be only turning 6 on June 15th. TFS :)

  15. Love black and gold so this masculine card is perfection with your baby-wipe circles, Nancy. Chuckled to myself as spell check changed reinkers to reindeer. Very striking card!

  16. I really enjoyed this technique, and I like your bold interpretation of it. Two different-sized rolls of baby wipes made wonderful little medallions of color -- great idea!
