 Good Morning, Stampers!

I love the way a handful of hues can set the entire mood of a project, spark an idea, or nudge your creativity in a direction you didn’t expect. This week’s Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge invites us to play with a curated palette and let those colors guide our design choices.Color challenges always feel like opening a fresh box of inks: full of possibility, full of personality, and full of ways to let your creativity bloom!

I reached for my Balloon Festoon stamp set and decided to experiment with a fun technique: a baby wipe ink pad. By adding drops of reinker directly onto a folded baby wipe, I created a custom, marbled ink pad that blended the challenge colors in unexpected ways. The result is the main sentiment has a beautiful marbled look— a mix of soft transitions and bold pops that make the entire design boom with patriotic colors!

Add drops of ink the size of the 

stamp/image and litlghly tap your 

stamp back and forth to ink up.
