Classic Birthday

Who knew that Baby Wipes had so many uses other than the intended one? Obviously, you can use them on your hands, stamps, and blocks. But, I found out that you can use them on a Fool Proof Watercolor Technique! How cool is that? 

Stamps:

   Touches of Texture

   Timeless Textures

   Guy Greetings

Paper:

   Tip Top Taupe A-2

   Watercolor Paper 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Calypso Coral

   Mint Macaron

   Soft Sky

   Tip Top Taupe

Markers:

   Various

Technique:

   Kim's Fool Proof Watercolor Technique

Accessories:

   Baby Wipes

   Adhesive

I followed Kim Jolley's Fool Poof Watercolor Technique. She even has a short video and a few examples. 

You can easily decipher what I used on my card. Basically, I used the Baby Wipes on my background and then stamped, using the two background stamp sets. The image and sentiment are from the Guy Greetings stamp set.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Flower Pieces

I applied some distress inks on a panel and was rather disappointed with my result. I felt the colors and the panel in general were too dark for any stamping. So, I left it alone for a few weeks. I can never seem to just throw anything away. Anyway, it did not lighten up over time. So, I stamped a few images. This is the result. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Touches of Texture

   Wetlands

Paper:

   Cucumber Crush A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5 x 3-3/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Cucumber Crush

   Distress Inks

Technique:

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Layering Circles Framelits Dies

   Dimensionals

   Sponge

   Adhesive

First, I applied distress inks on my craft sheet. Added water, and lifted the color with my Basic White panel. I set it aside and let it dry.

Weeks later, I stamped on the panel, using images from the Touches of Texture stamp set.

I still felt the panel was too dark and the images were not showing up well at all. 

So, I decided to cut the panel diagonally, and then into strips. 

Next, I placed and adhered the strips onto a Basic Black panel. Somehow, I think this allowed my images to stand out a bit more.

I then adhered the Basic Black panel onto a Cucumber Crush card front.

Next, I stamped, die cut, and sponged the sentiment, using the Layering Circles Framelits and the Wetlands stamp set.

I attached the sentiment with a few dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
