Kristina's Color Inspiration #3



There are so many techniques out there that I have not done. Today's card for Kristina's Color Inspiration is one of those techniques I have to try, at least once. It's the Baby Wipe Swipe. I used a wipe for each of the colors: Orchid Opulence, Rose Red and Pumpkin Pie. I had read that you are to use reinkers, but I just used my ink pads. The stamp set, Inspired by Nature worked well in Basic Black. My biggest challenge was squeezing in the Whisper White. I tried to keep that to a minimum because even a little bit REALLY stands out.

I had to take this picture at a really strange angle so you can see into the circle I punched in the front of the card. Inside is a Rose Red flower from Flower Fusion with a Pumpkin Pie eyelet in the middle. The stamp is from Think Happy Thoughts.

I feel like I'm in a rut with my cards, doing a challenge almost everyday is challenging! No time to take breather and just let the ideas flow. So, I may CASE a few cards in the next few days. I've seen a lot of great ones lately! On the other hand, maybe I'll try another new technique. Who knows!

  3. WOW'za!! The colors pop so much on the black card base and your "BIT" of white is perfect. The look of the grass as a silhouette effect just ROCKS!!! And LOVE the hole punched out! :)
