See the beautiful card you can create with only 3 ink refills

This easy technique has been out for ages; can you believe that this is the first time I am trying it? All you need is 3 ink refills and a baby wipe and you can create a beautiful fall card. I will be using the Beauty of Friendship stamp set. Want to learn this colorful technique?

 

It's interesting that I seem to rotate my stamp sets based on seasons. In the past I have used my Beauty of Friendship stamp set to create this fun fold card and this masculine card am now using it again: 

 

I have used the sentiments in this set a lot in the past year. They help me to celebrate good times and good people. Add a few hand-stamped trees, and you’ll make a card that will lift anyone’s spirits, like the one I am going to show you how to make today. Bonus: you don't need dies for this card so it is perfect for a beginner stamper! 

 

I had quite the debate with myself about designer paper and colors. There are so many possibilities but I eventually chose a darker pattern from the Boughs of Holly paper pack. I love that these designs and colors can be used for many occasions other than Christmas:

 

 

Here's my card and don't miss the video below where I walk you through step by step how to do this technique:

Funny Joanne! The only reason I had baby wipes is that I used them at a local craft fair and remembered that there were several popular techniques using them. I really love the effect on my card and will try it again using some other sets and ideas that I have.

Oh that is just too funny! I was making cards last week and I actually remembered and looked up "baby wipe stamping"... but since I didn't have any baby wipes I couldn't use it. I just wanted to remember how it was done and the effect it had on card making.

Your card is beautiful!
