Using refill inks, I created a variegated color stamping pad with a stack of baby wipes. I inked up the Medallion stamp from the Day Of Gratitude stamp set from Stampin Up, stamped, then cut out with scissors. Other elements include the word message (same stamp set) punched out with the Decorative Label punch. Embellishments also inked with the variegated stamp pad.

This is a beautiful card that I would like to replicate. However, I don't understand the technique you used for the variety of colors on the medallion stamp. Is there a tutorial on this technique or more specific instructions?

Glitter Queen,
I am so sorry to not have responded to your request. Yes, SplitcoastStampers has the Baby Wipe Technique listed and probably a video too. I have also seen LOTS on Pinterest.
Basically take several baby wipes, place in pie plate or other container, drop drops of reinker on the baby wipes close together, but not over lapping. I started with the light and went to the dark, but I have seen it done both ways. Then use the "baby wipe ink pad" to ink up your stamp. This can be used lots of times and creates a different look every time. If you put your new "ink pad" in a container with a lid it will last for more than 1 session.
Love the look. I just picked up another sample from www.stampinandblogging.com - this person used pumpkin pie, old olive, daffodil delight and rich razzleberry with the Wondrous Wreath stamp set - very pretty.
