Every day there is new stuff coming onto the market and we are all tempted to buy. But what about all the stuff that we already have, tucked away at the back of a cupboard.
Stuff that was not cheap to buy and that may have only been used once ... or twice if your lucky ... and then forgotten about.
Forgotten because you don't remember it is there, or forgotten because you can't remember how to use it.????.
The same applies to techniques that maybe inspired those buys and now we have discarded them for something new.
Using Baby Wipes was something I did years ago and it created some lovely designs, and was a really cheap way to create multi coloured ink pads for your self.
This little video may just spark a memory of how you used it, of if you are new to card making then it maybe something that you want to try out. It's not going to cost you much to give this a go and baby wipes are really cheap and can be picked up anywhere.
Alcohol refill inks are available from lots of places and I used Spectrum Noir refills from Crafters Companion for my cards and you will only need a few colours to get a really lovely look.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Hello Christina. I wasn't making cards when this technique was in - but what a good idea. So good to learn to make what you have work - and this lovely card is such a good example of that. Thank you - you are so inspiring. Kind regards Ethne
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, This maybe an old technique, but completely new to me. I've only just started to get inky! So I'm hunting for reasonably priced inks. Thank you for this video. Debbie x
