Baby Baja Friends

One of the techniques I taught in my Technique Class for September was the Baby Wipe Technique.  This is such a simple an effective technique which I hadn’t played with in a while myself but after using it again for the class it’s one I’m going to use more often.

I chose to use the ornamental stamp from Friends 24-7 and kept it monochromatic using Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy and Whisper White.

I’ve also used the Circle Scissor Plus on this card which I haven’t used often either. Now that I’ve been playing with it more and becoming more confident I’m sure I’ll be using it lots.

Another new item I’ve used that you can see in the picture is the adhesive Pearls. I’m so glad these can now be purchased as a sheet on their own rather than in the Pretties Kit. It was the most used item in my Pretties Kit which had to be replaced more for the 1/2 backed pearls than anything else.

I’ve used some other new items on this card but first I’ll share the full card with you.

I’ve used more pearls, this time the medium size, the new Scallop Trim Border Punch, new Whisper White Satin Ribbon and the sentiment is from the new stamp set ‘Word Play’.

It’s a pretty simple designed card but I think the Baby Wipe technique used on the main image really adds to it.

Tomorrow I’ll share the other card and technique we did.

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Friends 24-7, Word Play
Cards: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White
Inks: Baja Breeze & Not Quite Navy reinkers, Not Quite Navy inkpad
Accessories: Jewels Basic Pearls, Circle Scissor Plus, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Whisper White Satin Ribbon, Baby Wipe.

Another JAI34 creation

After noticing that some of the DT for Just Add Ink had used some Whisper White or Very Vanilla with their creations I decided I give the colours another go and add some in myself.

Here is the colour combo again for this week’s combo #34

As I mentioned this time I also added some Whisper White and I’ve gone with a new stamp set called ‘Just Believe’.

This stamp set was one of the first I selected from the new IB&C. I’m sure it will be one that will be used a lot.

You can’t really tell from the picture but I’ve added some Crystal Effects over the Pretty in Pink flowers.

Stamp sets: Just Believe
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, So Saffron, Whisper White
Inks: Certainly Celery & Pretty In Pink Stampin’ Write Markers
