Help with "Baby Wipe" Technique

[HappyAuntB]

I have seen alot of cards on here that have the technique listed as "Baby Wipe". I searched the resources and couldn't find anything listed as such. Could someone please let me know what this technique is and how to do it. I really like the card samples I have seen. Thanks so much!!!

The way I have done the baby wipe technique is this:

Squirt reinkers onto a baby wipe in a circle. Swipe the baby wipe across glossy card stock. You can also dab it across glossy card stock for another look. On this card I swiped it across glossy card stock then I dabbed it across the card stock. On the tag I dabbed it across it and the tag was Ultrasmooth white card stock.

What is in Baby Wipes that makes it such a good product to transfer color?

You can also add different color reinker on your baby wipe, make sure they don't blend and get muddy, and use it as an ink pad.

If you look in my gallery (that has one lonely card!), I've listed instructions that I learned from another SCS'er. Similar to kathleenh's technique, but I used three different colors of reinker and folded the baby wipe before inking it.

I just did this for the first time at a club meeting and it came out really cool! I think the set we used was Shapes and Shadows, the butterfly. We use mauve, mint and yoyo and it gave the nicest watercolor effect.
