Make your own Spectrum Pad!

I really love using spectrum pads and so when Stampin' Up stopped selling them awhile back I decided to create my own.  It's a very similar idea to the baby swipe or striped swipe technique done by the very talented Beate at Splitcoast here but I don't use reinkers, I use markers, a baby wipe and the end of a stamp pad.  The quick video will show you what I mean :-)

If you want to try it out, here are a few Spectrum Pad color examples to try:

 

Blue Frost:  Brilliant Blue, Ballet Blue, Bashful Blue, Ballet Blue, Brilliant Blue

Cotton Candy:  Rose Red, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Rose Red

Celebration:  Only Orange, Pink Passion, Lovely Lilac, Brilliant Blue, Green Galore

Pumpkin Patch:  Really Rust, Ruby Red, Only Orange, More Mustard, Old Olive

Late November:  More Mustard, Really Rust, Old Olive, Perfect Plum, Not Quite Navy

Taffy:  Almost Amethyst, Mellow Moss, Creamy Caramel, Blush Blossom, Barely Banana

Twist:  Yoyo Yellow, Green Galore, Glorious Green, Ballet Blue, Lovely Lilac

Fiesta:  Summer Sun, Real Red, Orchid Opulence, Ballet Blue, Taken with Teal

Waht a understandable video! Thanks a lot for your help and explanations. There is only one thing I would like to know. Does this technique work with any kind of paper or just with glossy paper? God bless you!. María Consuelo
