Happy Thoughts of You

This is my first attempt at the baby wipe technique. I took 4 reinkers and dropped a few of each color in a row on a baby wipe and wiped it directly on Whisper White cardstock. As I continued down, some of the colors overlapped. Then I stamped the flower directly over the top. Card is matted in early espresso.

SUPPLIES (all SU unless otherwise noted):

• Cardstock: early espresso, whisper white, melon mambo
• Ink: elegant eggplant, calypso coral
• Reinkers: calypso coral, melon mambo, wisteria wonder, pool party
• Stamps: Field Flowers
• Punches: dotted scallop ribbon border, decorative label, martha stewart edge punch
• Misc: ribbon, pink rhinestones (not SU)

Poppy Window

I was testing out my new Pleasant Poppies backbground stamp. I made it a "window" of poppies by first embossing the wild wasabi mat with the vintage wallpaper, then cutting out the frame with the labels framelits. I colored the poppies using pumpkin pie, calypso coral and mellow moss. The butterfly is from the new Papillon Potpourri set and is stamped in calypso coral and then punched out with coordinating butterfly punch.

• carstock: calypso coral, wild wasabi, whisper white, black
• stamps: pleasant poppies, papillon potpourri, because i care (old hostess)
• ink: stazon black, calypso coral
• accessories: modern label, word window, and elegant butterfly punch; labels framelits; black rhinestones not SU

For You Elements of Style
