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!

  • Simple fun fold card with Wildflower Designs with video & free project sheet

    I shared two cards featuring the Wildflower Designs bundle in last week's video. Here's one of them: 

    Wildflower Designs swap Save

    Can you see the simple but different card layout here? The back of the card is a full 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" layer. The Lost Lagoon folded card is 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4".  So easy but unique too.

    I wanted to use Pretty in Pink with a current color and chose Lost Lagoon to pair with it.  I think they work beautifully together. 

    What do you think of the new Dashing Designs embossing folder? I love it!

    The Wildflower Designs bundle can be seen here.  I love the stamp set a lot but the dies won me over. There's so many possibilities with them!

    I made the card on the right below first.  Then tried it again for the left card.  Can you spot the difference?

    When I made this card for our Team swap my first one did not include the frame.  Otherwise they're the same. Which do you prefer?

  • NEAT Center Pop-up Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet

    I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend.  We are having a quiet one at home, getting yard work done and also enjoying time off together. We've had lovely rain lately. The grass is green and I hope my garden takes off once the weather warms up a bit. 

    On last week's Live I made a super neat fun fold card.  This photo shows the card front which starts out as a gatefold card.

    I chose the Wildflower Designs bundle because it seems to have everything I like in a bundle – florals & botanicals, lovely greetings and wonderful dies too.

    The designer paper is the Country Woods seen here.  It's currently unavailable as they ran out of stock. But it should be back within a week or so.  That pretty die-cut circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  Love these dies so much! 

    Here's what it look like open:

    I was inspired by two of my team members to try this fun fold card layout.  I thought it looked quite complicated but they assured me it wasn't.  They were right!  It was just a few extra score and cut lines. I hope you'll watch the video below to see how it's done.  

    The center dies are included in the Wildflower Designs bundle seen here.  All of these patterns are included in the Country Woods designer series paper pack. No wonder it's already sold out!
