It took me a while to think up what to do with this week's Make It Monday #287: Baby Wipe Inking, hosted by Ashley Cannon Newell. The challenge is to use baby wipes and reinkers to create a background or pattern. I didn't want to just do a random, blotted background because I figured I wouldn't be happy with it. So I pulled out some stencils....
On white cardstock, using the stencil from the Sunshine & Rainbows mini kit, Lemon Tart reinker and a baby wipe, I blotted the ink to create the rays. I stamped the sentiment in black ink in the lower right hand corner.
The sun and clouds are die-cut in white cardstock, stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. For the sun, I rubbed Lemon Tart ink on it, adding Summer Sunrise ink to the edges and center. The clouds have a light coating of Aqua Mist ink on them.
I trimmed the panel down and added a strip of Lemon Tart Stripes at the bottom and placed the sun and clouds on foam tape for dimension. The panel is adhered to a white cardstock card base with white crochet thread around the spine.
Very happy with the way this one turned out! (It looks much better in person, can't get a good picture!)
