Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing colouring techniques. I have chosen to make my card using the Caring Leaves stamp set and ink refills and the baby wipe technique, one of my favourite colouring techniques.
Colours in this card are:
To recreate the caring leaves card, you will need:
Garden Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gold Foil card – 5⅛” by 3½”
Early Espresso card – 5” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 4⅞” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Cherry Cobbler card – 4⅛” by ¾”
I began by making up my ‘ink pad’ using a couple of baby wipes and 3 or 4 drops of the following re-inkers – Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Pecan Pie.

Both solid leafy images were inked up on my homemade ink pad and randomly stamped all over the 4⅞” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card.

The sketchy outer images of each stamp were added over each leaf using Early Espresso ink. The panel was then glued to the Early Espresso panel and then to the panel of Gold Foil. The whole piece was adhered to the Garden Green card base.

Using the Greetings of the Season Dies I die cut a label from the strip of Cherry Cobbler card. I ran it through twice as I wanted it shorter with a flagged banner at each end.

The sentiment, from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the Cherry Cobbler label. I covered it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it.

I placed a strip of Tear ‘n Tape onto the card front and added loops of the new Twisted Gold Twine. The sentiment was added over the top on Dimensionals. A trio of Earth Tone Shimmer Gems completed the card.
