Technique Time. Today's technique is called baby wipe swirl. For a fun background, simply place several drops of a refill on a folded baby wipe and spread it across your cardstock in a swirly or wavy motion. For this card, I used soft succulent and pale papaya refills. Once the cardstock is dry (paper will curl when wet, and lay flat when dry) adhere a black die cut over the top.

Here is another version using polished pink and pale papaya refills.
