Stamp Technique: Baby Wipes
Stamped Pattern
Well, you may be wondering a few things but baby wipes are for more than a baby’s bottom (and hands and faces) Actually, you can use baby wipes to create a pretty interesting stamping technique with very little fuss and muss about it.
What you need:
- Baby Wipes (of course)
- Reinkers: These are little containers filled with stamp ink so you can refill your stamp pads. You will want to use several colors.
- Stamps
- Cardstock
Directions:
- Take out two or three baby wipes. You can do this with one but I like to have a few to prevent it from staining through.
- Place the baby wipe onto a piece of paper or discarded cardstock to prevent staining your table with the ink.
- Now that you have the baby wipe ready, take one of the reinkers, it is best if you start with the darkest color, and pour some of the ink onto the baby wipe. You will want to make little drops of color so you have several dots of ink on the baby wipe.
- Take the second color and repeat the process. Don’t worry if you overlap the colors since this will only add to your finished craft.
- If you are using a third color, fill in the white spaces of the baby wipe around the other two colors with your third reinker. If you are using four or more, keep repeating the step until your last reinker and then fill in the white.
- Now that your color palette is ready, take a stamp and use the baby wipe as a stamp pad. Stamp the image onto a piece of cardstock
The image that will be stamped will pull up all the colors you placed on the baby wipe and you should be able to do more than one image with the temporary baby wipe ink pad. Once you are finished stamping, throw away the baby wipe and used the stamped image for scrapbooking or for a card.
