Last week I tried out a variation on the Baby Wipe Technique and created a range of backgrounds. I played around with various colours and came up with a few different options. For this particular base I used Bubble Bath, Highland Heather and Melon Mambo.
BABY WIPE TECHNIQUE VARIATION
You will need a couple of baby wipes which you fold into 1/8 (roughly) to form a small ink pad. Drop the ink refill colour of your choice onto the baby wipe. Gentle wipe it in circular motion onto a piece of Fluid 100 Cardstock. Apply the colour to different sections.
Continue with the other colours until you get a blended look.
I’ve followed the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #fms629 and used the Magnolia Mood bundle to complete my card.
Stamping the image in Stazon ink, I watercoloured the image with a range of ink refills including Shy Shamrock which is part of the 2024-2026 In-Color range.
For the top part of the sketch I fussy cut a piece of Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. Under it I added an embossed piece of White Cardstock which had been die cut with the Gorgeously Made dies. On the Thick White card base, I added another piece of White Cardstock exactly the same size which was embossed with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder. I find that embossing the card base can warp the card front so I prefer to add that extra layer.

As I look back on the number of cards that I’ve created using the Beary Cute bundle, I think I must have really liked this set. I loved the cuteness of it but it’s probably not a general go-to for my styling but my creations speak otherwise!
Colour Palette #31 came together so well and I like the tag from the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper which has a textured look to it.
I created a watercoloured background in Flirty Flamingo which created a lovely subtle look against the Mossy Meadow card base. These colours in full strength could possibly be a little bit too strong for me but with the muted Flirty Flamingo and Crumb Cake it worked well.
The Beary Cute bundle is on our Last Chance list and will leave our collection on the 3rd of January (unless sold out prior). Make sure you add it to your collection while it’s still there.
For today’s card I’ve been inspired by the Colour Challenge at Just Add Ink with a beautiful colour palette of Mint Macaron, Fresh Freesia and Starry Sky.
I went bold by blending Starry Sky on Basic White Cardstock for my matte layer. A wave and some dots were heat embossed in white to compliment the shell. I used my Stamparatus (our stamp positioning tool) to stamp the wave as I only wanted to stamp part of the image and it allowed me to re-stamp should I have needed to.
The shell was watercoloured with Fresh Freesia and Starry Sky. I inked up a Clear Block which acted as my palette. I find that this method gives me more control for watercolouring.
The leaves were coloured with Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends, providing a soft contrast against the bold background.

Hello friend, Welcome to the New at SU Blog Hop for May. Today we are sharing with you inspiration using the 2022-2024 In Colours – Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis.
I’ve picked probably my 3 favourites from this set to use on my card today with the For the Record stamp set. I really love how Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet blend together.
To create the multi-coloured look on the record, I used the Stamparatus and Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party In-Colours. I coloured in the record randomly with the Markers and stamped it several times. Then I inked up the stamp with the 2 colours and spritzed the stamp and re-stamped. This gave the lovely watercolour-washed look. I added some extra definition, individually marking some of the record lines with the Markers. I just love this effect which can be achieved with our our Stampin’ Write Markers.
Some splatters of Sweet Sorbet ink were added by flicking the brush tip of the Marker against the lid. I added some music notes from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set in keeping with the music theme.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today and please continue through the hop for lots more In-Colour inspiration.

I’ve got a quick Christmas card to share with you today. If you follow me on Facebook or YouTube you may have already seen this. I used the Evergreen Elegance stamp set to create this row of Christmas trees in pink.
This is a really quick card to make and I use a simple and fun watercolouring technique. Click on this link to view the video tutorial https://youtu.be/zejmxhovCvw
