A Blossoming Flower

It's been some time since I have played over at the

CAS Mix Up Card Challenge but this month's technique

Baby Wipe Stamping and Your Choice

has been on my 'To Try List' for a long time

so there was no excuse for me to NOT try it out. 

My Mix is Baby Wipe Technique, Stamping

Die Cutting and Embossing

I used Ramblin' Rose Pink Magicals

on my first baby wipe, wetting it to

activate the crystals and then wiping it on to

card stock several times to get the bright shimmery effect.

The leaves are soaked up with

Tim's Carved Pumpkin

SU Mossy Meadow and Yo Yo Yellow reinkers.

These were die cut from SU Botanical Blooms.

I love this stamp/die set as it is so versatile.

Behind the leaves I inked a few twigs with 

Tea Die Distress Ink as is the lovely sentiment from

STAMPlorations Blossoming

You will see faint embossing to the white card.

I only embossed with one half of the folder

to take away the starkness.

I inked the leaf edges with Nuvo Gold Glitter

which is very hard to see.

Added some tiny beads to the centre of my flower

to finish my card that I adhered to kraft card base.

I had a lot of fun with this technique and 

have made another card using one of the

inked baby wipe colours. I will show that another day.

Thanks for dropping in

Love reading your kind comments.
