Forest Spruce

Trying a new technique today using baby wipes,
Archival Re-inkers, glossy photo paper and a new ink pad, 
India ink which has dried lovely onto the archival re-inkers.
Shown in the pic below it is easy to use dabbing a bit of each 
colour onto the baby wipes and just swiped down the gloss card.
My swirl grid stamp [Kaisercraft] was stamped using
kaleidacolor ink pad [Berry Blaze]
Stamps used are:
Fairy Barnacle, Spellbound Fairy and Miniature stars.
Forest Spruce and "Fairy Dust is like love" sentiment.

What a beautiful card. The colors are lovely and the stamps are great. I love how the colors look on the glossy card stock. [Bunny]

I was interested in the technique because I have a ton of reinkers, but only a couple of ink pads. The technique worked well on the glossy card stock. I have some real India ink and it bleeds on everything. It also takes forever to dry, so a dye inkpad would be a great alternative to the real ink. Your card turned out great, Annie.

Wow! I did not know that Kaleidacolor ink would dry on glossy cardstock! That's great to know, as I have a bunch of those pads just screaming to be used! Annie, your creation is pure magic, especially with those brilliant colors (applied with a baby wipe no less!) and that amazing scene you've put together! wonderful! Such a pleasure to see your pretty card at Lavinia World Challenges. Hope to see more of your creations in the future.
Smiles,
