Another Baby Wipe Card

If you've been following my posts, you know that I've been playing with the Baby Wipe Technique (drip some liquid ink on a folded baby wipe and swipe across your cardstock).  Here are two that I did:


 So then I used dies to cut out some shapes, and look what I got:


The variegated colors of the flowers and leaves add so much texture to my card!  


I used Around the Bend dies, first to cut the panel with the leaves in the corner.  Once cut, I swiped my baby wipe over the leaves to give them some color.  

Then I cut another panel using the same die, trimmed off the leaves, embossed it with the Brick embossing folder, and pasted it over the leaves.  

And then those flowers:


Cut with more dies from Around the Bend, I layered the flowers and leaves over a greeting panel.


And speaking of the greeting panel:


I used my Stamparatus to stamp first with Granny Apple Green, and then again with Versamark.  This allowed me to heat emboss the greeting with clear embossing powder, giving my words a shiny effect.


Here are the two cards I made using these two panels...such fun!


Give this slightly-messy-but-oh-so-pretty technique a try!  I think you'll love the results.

A Seaside Fun Fold

A few weeks ago, while I was traveling, I posted a card I had received in a swap.  This card was a fun-fold, and I decided to use the fold for my Card Club ladies the other day.  


 From the front you can hardly tell it has an unusual fold.  You'll note the Night of Navy base with a Sahara Sand layer, then a Balmy Blue layer that is embossed, with a pretty panel on top, highlighted by seashells.

But let's take a closer look:


First, that pretty panel.  I used a piece of the By the Bay Designer Series Paper, topped with some shells (the Blushing Bride shell is from Season of Chic and is cut with the Chic dies; the others are from Seaside Bay, and cut with the coordinating dies).  

And inside the oyster:


A pearl!  One attendee noted that this "takes the card over the top!" and I totally agree!

Then start to open the card:


You'll fine a Balmy Blue layer embossed with the Seashells embossing folder.

Inside:


Opened all the way, you'll find the area for your greeting, decorated with the sand and shells of Seaside Bay.

I think this would qualify as a Mother-in-Law card - there's very little space for writing!  ðŸ˜‚  But I love the fold!  Don't you?
