Beccy's Place month of holiday cards day 24

Day 24 at Beccy's Place month of holiday cards is Use a tutorial
http://beccysplace.blogspot.com.au/

I looked up Split Coast stampers and found a tutorial on Striped Wipe
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/stripedwipe/
You are supposed to use die ink Reinkers but I used distress inks.  I bought them a couple years ago but hadn't even opened them.   (I forgot I do have some Stampin Up reinkers)
I made such a mess.  Here are the two cards I made:

I put Salty Ocean, Festive Berries and Mowed Lawn inks on folded edge of baby wipe as instructed and swiped it across glossy card stock.
Stamped Christmas Wishes and Stamp it stamp Holly's Christmas with black ink and coloured with markers.  (Skin colours don't show on top of the stripes)
On first card I added ribbon and pearls, layered onto red and then onto green card.
On second card I added star brads and layered on red card.
It would have been better if I had used a solid stamp.

I would also like to enter these cards into the following challenges:
