How to use a baby wipe for an ink palette

by

Can you tell what recycled item is being used here as an ink palette? Yes, that is the humble baby wipe. I keep these everywhere, in the car, in the studio, in the garage, and even out in my storage spaces as things sometimes can get dirty and they are just great for a quick hand cleaning. I never would have thought of using them as a palette for rubber stamping. I include rubber stamped images in my mixed-media art these days and I can’t wait to try this tutorial on how to use a baby wipe for an ink palette featured at the blog Stamping with Blue Moon Creations.
