An easy Whitewashing Technique with our Retiring In Colors

I had time to play with the Whitewashing technique & our beautiful Calming Camellia stamp set.

This first card features my top favorite color among the retiring 2020-22 In Colors; Misty Moonlight.  I hope it returns someday!

I decided to cut the pieces down to fit and layer on one 8 1/2" X 11" piece of Basic White CS. I love saving card stock this way.

The In Color pieces measure 3 3/8" X 4 1/2" and the layering White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8".

How did I do the Whitewashing Technique?  I use our White Craft ink pad and a water painter.  I added a few drops of the White Craft ink refill to the inside of the ink pad and added water from the brush.  Swirl it around a bit and start painting.  You don't need much if you like it soft; I prefer it pretty diluted. 

You can see a demonstration in this video; it's the second project.

Heads up!! These 2020-22 In Color will retire at the end of March.  If you have the ink pads, make sure you have the ink refills and grab extra card stock or Designer Paper too!  See all of this color line here. 

***Once the retired list comes out these tend to sell out FAST! 

Here's my other favorite of these In Colors; Just Jade.  I love this pretty, medium toned green.  It fits so beautifully with other colors!

This stamp set is a 'distinktive' set which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  Love these so much! 

Did you notice that these cards are also monochromatic?  I cannot get enough of a single color with a neutral. This technique truly shows off our gorgeous colors!

    Today's card is the second one I shared during last week's Live video.  I chose to feature the Labeled with Love bundle.

    There's just something classy about a mostly white card. To me it seems like there's more focus on the main element – in this card a pretty butterfly tag. And the texture is a quiet backdrop. 

    Here are some of the products I used:

    Today's project is from last week's Live video seen here. 

    Labeled with Love fun fold Save

    This neat fun fold card features the Lily Pond Lane designer series paper and the Labeled with Love punch bundle seen here. 

    The stamp set is available in a bundle with either a punch or a set of dies.  Love that they have these options to please us all.  

    Labeled with Love Lily Save

    My colors include Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Pretty Peacock which I got from the Lily Pond Lane DSP seen here.  I still have a few card kits to go with this adorable designer paper. See them here; while supplies last.

    The card layout includes a quarter sheet on the base and a scored/folded 11" X 4 1/4" piece over it.  A few White & DSP layers and that's it!  It's quite simple.  I did fussy cut the butterflies I added to the right panel.
