Have you ever done the baby swipe technique? It's so fun; playing with baby wipes and ink refills is a bit addictive!

I made this card for our March Team swap; the theme was to use a technique involving ink refills.

Save

My colors include Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink and Black.

Other products used:
- Potted Succulent dies for the greeting die-cut
- Dainty Delight dies – black die-cuts
- Penned Flowers dies for the scalloped edge
- Brass butterflies seen here
Save

Can you spot the shimmer? I used the Pearlescent paper from the Annual Catalog. See it here.

It was the perfect sheen for this technique as the moist ink did not absorb quickly like it might for regular card stock. Glossy paper would also work well.

After I added the color, I let it dry for an hour or so. Then I textured it with one of the embossing folders in the 3D Basics pack seen here. These are currently out of stock but they'll be back in May.

Save

Below you can see the difference in my cards; especially the colors. One is soft and subtle and the other more vibrant. This happens as you work with your baby wipe; the first few swipes are bold and the next few are much softer.

Tips for success:
- Fold and roll your baby wipe in a tube. Hold it tightly and add a few drops of ink refills.
- Add each color separately in a row. I tend to add enough for about 1/2" of surface.
- Start swiping off your paper and then onto it. You can do straight swipes or get creative and add curves or swirls. Let dry.
- Shimmery, pearlescent or glossy works best. But you can do it on regular card stock too.
- I suggest you use light to medium colors.

Notice the colors of the butterflies? I colored the Brass Butterflies with a Polished Pink blends marker for the left card. I wasn't sure I liked it or not so left them uncolored for my swap cards.

Watch the video here or click on the image below to see this technique. It's the last technique I share in the video.
