Nature’s Prints

Good Evening! It’s time for another FAB Stampers share and today it’s my turn. I’ve used the lovely Nature’s Prints stamps for my cards today.

Nature’s Prints

I love any stamp set that contains leaves or flowers so when I saw the Nature’s Prints bundle I knew I had to get it! For today’s projects I’ve just used the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set.

This set is the type of set I recommend to new stampers. It has imagery of leaves, flower and splats (everyone needs splats) plus a variety of sentiments.

Baby Wipe Technique

For today’s project I thought I’d incorporate a fun and easy technique – the Baby Wipe Technique. It’s fun and easy and uses items you probably already have on hand.

For this technique you will need …

• Baby Wipes (just get the cheapest as they work perfectly)
• a plastic tray or case (our Clear Stamp Cases are perfect otherwise those plastic trays from the chinese takeaway work well
• Ink Refills/Reinkers – choose 2 or 3 colours
• Stamps – any will do but solid sentiments and flowers work well or distinktive stamps like Nature’s Prints also work really well.

The cards …

Here are the cards I’ve made for you today ..

Dont you love how these cards turned out? That fern and how well it stamped with the colours I chose. The colours I chose were Pacific Point, Balmy Blue and Pool Party for the technique and used Night of Navy Ink Pad for the sentiments.

I love how the ferns turned out on this card … all those colours!

To separate the foliage I did use a little piece of scrap note paper to mask the fern leaves to stamp the other foliage. This also gives the card depth.

I layered my stamped piece onto a Night of Navy mat and then popped some Glitter Organza ribbon around and into a knot. To finish off I added some Iridescent Rhinestones for some bling … or water droplets!

Baby Wipe Block

This card is a different way to use the Baby Wipe Technique. I actually used my ‘palette’ to ink up one of my D blocks, spritzed it with a little water to get the colours to blend a bit and stamped it onto my Basic White cardstock. Instant Background! I then just stamped the two foliage stamps in Night of Navy and added the sentiment. Again they are layered onto Navy cardstock and embellished with the Iridescent Rhinestones.
