Title: Baby Wipe Stamping
Hostess: wendella247
Keyword: TechVSBN07
Day/Date: Saturday, September 28, 2013
Time: 2pm EST
Hope you�re having fun with the VSBN challenges so far today! My challenge uses a fun and easy technique I learned at a workshop several years ago.
What you�ll need:
� Baby wipe or similar type wipe (I tried a generic baby wipe & Clorox disinfectant wipe--both worked)
� 3 coordinated re-inker inks
� Bold-style stamp image (single-outline images aren�t as effective for this technique, although one of my images was a plaid style which turned out OK).
Basically, all you do is add drops of re-inker inks to a folded baby wipe, then use it as a "stamp pad.� I checked in the tutorials here on SCS and found instructions by Beate Johns which are very similar to the ones I used, so here�s THE LINK.
For mysample challenge page,I stamped some multi-colored flower & plaid images which I used to create background strips on my page. (Use your stamped images in any way you want, they don�t have to be strips like mine.) I tried 2 different wipes, a store-brand baby wipe and a Clorox disinfecting wipe. They both worked pretty well; the Clorox wipe has a little texture. I�m guessing that whatever kind of wipes you have at home will probably be fine, so give it a go!

....well .... there are no baby wipes at my house (LOL!) but I do have the Chlorox ones I think somewhere so I'm definitely going to have to pull some picts and get busy

I was thinking earlier when I tried to do the first challenge that I needed baby wipes to clean the brayer but I didn't have any that were wet anymore. I think I've got Clorox wipes but I decided to play in the kitchen to try and make Alfredo Sauce to put over noodles for lunch...needless to say that didn't work out either :(... Almost tastes like Alfredo Sauce but definitely doesn't have the consistency needed so I guess I'll be drinking it
I need a container of hand wipes so this challenge gives me the impetus to go get some! Busy the rest of today but hope to try it tomorrow.
If you get the Clorox brand, which have the texture, you could try your texture challenge again using the wipe! I've got my texture challenge done! Just have to take a photo, write my supplies list, and post! It was really fun!
I purchased wipes and really want to do this challenge, but I realized I don't have very many re-inkers, either! None of my colors has matched my layouts yet, but I am determined to complete this challenge somehow.
Aw, I'm sorry to hear that Sharon. I hope you can salvage something from it. I haven't used my re-inkers in some time, so I didn't give "wasting" a thought, but you're right--I'd see if you can find a way to use it--I'll bet you can!
Cheryl, I hope you find something too, but I'll understand if you don't!
Okay, I will have to save this technique and try it when I have more re-inkers. I looked through the photos I have to scrap and could not find any that matched the re-inker colors I have. Sigh. Thanks for sharing this, thought, because now I can come back to the VSBN page and find this technique at a later date!
