Baby Wipes for Card Ministry

What a funny title huh? I'm tired can ya tell? I have been playing around with different ways to color images for Card Ministry Friday. Here's what I've come up with.
This is a simple card for Card Ministry. Baby wipe technique on vanilla cardstock. Riding hood red, gable green and apricot reinkers were used. riding hood red was cut with the scallop square and put behind the thank you shape.

This is another Fall card using the baby wipe technique. I cut the front panel at the bottom to make it shorter and added the green scallop piece. On top of that I added rose paper then ribbon. The inside bottom piece has rose paper. The leaves were made with reinkers and the baby wipe technique using apricot, gable green and riding hood red reinkers.

Pumpkins for Sale is another card for Card Ministry Friday. The base was put through the cuttlebug with the dotted swiss background. It pumpkins were stamped in black and masked to make a pile of them. They were colored with a stipple brush with pumpkin. Then they were traced with pumpkin marker and gable green marker. Perfect layers was used to add the black layer. The pumkin is the SU sizzix cut out that was stamped on using the stamp-a-ma-jig and I added ribbon with a staple.

This is the baby wipe technique on vanilla cardstock using riding hood red, apricot and gable green reinkers. I bordered it with burgunday and added the large oval with my new punch. This is simple and easy and great for beginners at Card Ministry Friday.

This is another card for Card Ministry Friday where I was experimenting with different ways to color. This is the baby wipe technique on shiny cardstock. I used apricot, green gable and riding hood red reinkers on the baby wipe. I put the green cardsock through the crimper and used the perfect layers to add black and green edges.

I was experimenting with different ways to color on cards for Card Ministry Friday. This is leaves awash in black that was colored with apricot, riding hood red, and green gable using daubers. The bucket of apples was colored the same way.

What's your favorite way to color images? I love to use watercolor crayons with my aqua painters.
I'm hoping to get more stamping done this week so I'll have ways to use watercolors in there too.
Our sermon this morning was about serving. It was interesting to hear that many people leave God at home and pick Him up again when they walk in the door, or go out again to Bible Study. I'm glad He's with me 24/7, I wouldn't want it any other way. I enjoy the Card Ministry we have at our church. It is a chance to serve with others to help encourage those who need it in our church.
Today I saw a link on Splitcoast saying they have a new challenge which is to make a card/cards and send it to an address where it will get put with lots of other cards made for that certain organization that month. Here's the link. Happy Serving!
