Baby Wipe Tutorial --

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

This weekend my AWESOME Crafty friend

Georgiana from Carson's Creations

asked me if I would do a Follow up

Tutorial on the Baby Wipe Method Card I Made 

RIGHT HERE!

So, I said SURE I could --

Now, I know there are some videos

on how to do this - But I only watched

1 video and it was from a Stampin' Up Demo.

from Aug. of 2017 - 

When she did the Baby Wipe Method -

She used a Stamp with this method

Because that's how you're suppose to do it!

I tried it and didn't like my results with my stamp

and it was TOTALLY USER ERROR!

I should have used a Solid image stamp

Which, well I DID NOT!! LOL

And that's when I thought could I do this

on my water color paper?? Sure Enough &

I got some really NEAT RESULTS from it --

Soooo -- Here ya go - I hope it helps someone out!

I started out with Baby Wipes, 4 Distress Inks and some Tim Holtz Water Color Paper

Now - You can probably use ANY water color paper (I just like this type)

And YOU MUST use DYE INK - It's what works with this technique

So any dye inks you have will work! :)

I took 2 Baby wipes and layed them on top of each other

I folded it in half

Then folded it one more time - to look like this!

You do this so the Baby Wipe acts like an Ink Pad

You only need a few drops of each color - So You can see I only

used 3 drops of the Faded Jeans Color

So this is what I ended up with after adding my inks -

So, in the video I watched, she used a Solid Stamp and just went

straight down into the ink with her stamp - (dabbing it)

It was a straight Up and Down motion - the whole point

was to get your stamp wet using the different colors

But if you dip your stamp in several areas - you'll just have a 

muddy mess -- (I hope that made sense) 

Because I didn't like how my image was - I tried this instead --

I picked up my baby wipe and started to dab at my watercolor paper

Using the different colors -- it turned out neat -- 

Then I added some Water - I wanted my colors to blend a little more

Then I wanted my Background to shine so I sprayed on some

Frost Shimmer Mist -- (NOTE) -- My photo is not in the right steps -

I Sprayed my Shimmer frost first (which is why it doesn't look like my

Colors blended together) - Again User Error!!! LOL

After letting my Paper Dry (I took a Heat tool to it for the Pictures)

I didn't do that the first time I tried this - I actually let it sit off to

dry til the next day - But You can Totally Use your Heat Gun

I know you wanna get this done! LOL 

Then I splattered Some Brushed Pewter Stain on my Background

I thought the Blues & Purples needed a bit of Silver!!!

AND This IS my Final Product!! Everything is blended and actually 

Sparkles in person!

Now another (USER ERROR) I noticed for Myself IS

I like to use the Smooth side of this Water color paper

and what did I do??? The Textured side! GRRR!

In Crafting there are NO MISTAKES! Just Happy

Creative outlooks! :)

As you can see - I Made 2 backgrounds with that same Baby wipe

The second image is where I used the Smooth side of the 

watercolor paper - See the difference? 

They both turned out great, but I'm a SMOOTH Side Gal!! LOL

I do hope you guys try this and let me know if you did --

I would LOOOOVE to see what you create --
