My recent hostesses and I have had fun using ink refills and a simple baby wipe to create a multi-coloured custom ink pad. This bright, fun card uses the Groovy Love stamp set and matching Sweetheart punch. The patterning of this heart stamp really shows off the changing colours and any solid or closely patterned image stamp will work well with this technique. I keep my baby wipe ink pads between two sheets of plastic a) to prevent the baby wipe from touching paper and cardstock it's not supposed to b) to stop it from drying out. As long as your ink pad stays moist, it can last for days, so you can keep on stamping (you can reink as necessary).
Here's a close up of those happy hearts. I've used my oval framelits to frame the focal image and finished it off with some In Colour ribbon.
If you would like to know how to create your own baby wipe ink pad, here is a great tutorial.
