happy birthday...

Hey there!!  Feels like ages since I made a card... well it has been a few days!  My little guy turned 8 on 14th of June and I had to spend most of my time getting ready for the party.  He had a great time with his best buddies and cousins so the lack of crafting time was all worth it!  But I did get a chance to make something for several challenges this morning:  PTI's Make It Monday and Color Throwdown
When I saw Ashley's MIM technique "baby wipe stamping" I really wanted to give it a try.  Combining it with Color Throwdown gave me that chance.  I used one of my favorite PTI sets Turning a New Leaf (thanks, Greta, for the idea to use it!), as well as Bigger Blooms.  I split up the colors and created one pad using Coastal Cabana and Kiwi Kiss reinkers; the other pad using Regal Rose and Pink Pirouette reinkers and then stamped away.  I really like the soft effect you get from using a baby wipe and the reinkers... makes me thankful that I made the decision to get reinkers when I buy my SU! ink pads!!  I'm not super happy with all the white space I left on the card... it makes things a bit unbalanced, but overall I do really like the card.

Thanks for stopping by...

Supplies:  Cardstock: PTI white; Stamps:  PTI; Inks:  Stampin Up! and Memento

  3. Hello Rosie,
    This is a little different for you, and as usual your talent expresses itself to paints and a gorgeous watercolour effect; the card is beautiful.
