Baby Wipe Technique
My friends Kathi and Karen taught me how to
do this technique about a month ago and it was so much fun. It is best done on
glossy paper.
Supplies Needed:
4 - 5 Baby Wipes
Tray to work in
Reinkers
Glossy Paper
Throw away gloves
To start cut your paper to the size desired
for the images you plan to use. Select your colors.
You can see in the photo I have folded the
baby wiped into thirds. You want a thick pad to work with.
Ink the baby wipe on the edge with the ink
with your colors.
Place the baby wipes at the edge of the
paper and pull it across the paper. Be firm so that the baby wipe has good
contact with your paper. Set it aside to dry. This will take about 5 minutes.
You can see here the results I got with the
colors I used. This is So Saffron, Elegant Eggplant and Pumpkin Pie.
Here is what I did with the paper after it
was dry. This is a Halloween Wheel called Haunting.
Another thing you can do instead of doing
cardstock is to do images with a solid stamp. Using the reinkers you place drops
of ink on the baby wipes. Using a solid stamp, press down firmly in the baby
wipe and stamp on your paper. Experiment and have fun with this. The results
will be different every time.
When you see the colors start to get muddy
then you know you need to start all over with new baby wipes. You can get quite
a few papers done depending on how heavy you have applied the ink.
Here is a card made with this technique.
