I did a card like this at a Stamp Camp and have seen several similar designs by others on SCS. I love using the baby wipe technique with two step stamping!

If you are familiar with this set, the stamps are in pairs. I used the baby wipe technique on the solid stamp, and basic black for the outline stamp. I folded a baby wipe to give me a large enough stamping area, placing it in an empty SU box. I placed 9 drops (3 of each color, making 3 rows) of the reinkers on the baby wipe (making sure the drops were close together with little to no white space between them). Use this as your stamp pad - press down hard, then stamp on your paper as you normally would. Then use the outline stamp over the top of the solid stamp. I used my homemade stamp pad with the little stars as I don't have a stamp pad with those colors (yet!). Add more reinker to the baby wipe if the ink is getting too light for your taste. Happy stamping!

Hmmm... I typed in the information about the stamps and inks I used when I submitted this... but it's not there now. I used Lovely Lilac, Tempting Turquoise, and Brilliant Blue reinkers on a baby wipe to create the butterflies, with the outline stamp in Basic Black. The stars were also stamped using the baby wipe as my ink pad. I used a white watercolor pencil to make the "flying" effect, but plan to pick up a white milky gel pen for use in the future - I think it would have looked better. Thank you all for the kind comments! Happy Stamping!
