Today I have exciting news - the lovely Miss Vicky at Sunny Challenges and Creations has asked me to be a Guest Designer for their new challenge. Of course I said yes!
Today the ladies have a sketch challenge for you, with the added twist that your card must feature the Baby Wipe Technique. If you need a tutorial for this technique you can find one here. It's a technique I hadn't tried before, but one I found easy to do and a whole lot of fun!
Here's the card I created for the challenge. I used my More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Always Artichoke reinkers to create my 'inkpad' and then stamped away with my French Foliage stamp set.
I got the idea for this combination of colours and stamps after talking to one of my stamping ladies who wanted a more multi coloured look to her leaf stamps. I suggested the rock'n'roll technique but after she left I got to wondering if it would work with the baby wipe technique. I think it works beautifully! The biggest compliment was when I showed my husband the card - he thought I'd used DSP as the background!
I'm not sure how I'll use this card, so I've left the inside blank apart from the stamping along the edges. You can see in this shot that I've used Naturals Ivory cardstock for the card base. It's a lovely cardstock that has flecks through it and is perfect for a card like mine.
Stamps: French Foliage, It's Your Day

I hope you can play along this week at Sunny Challenges and Creations. I'd love to see your take on the Baby Wipe technique!
Bye for now,
Tina
