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! 

Calming Camelia In Color Save

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!

    This week I'll be sharing the cards I made on last week's FB Live video.  I chose to feature the pretty Wisteria Wishes bundle seen here. 

    Join me here for tomorrow's video.

    My colors include Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party and a little Old Olive with White.  This card was pretty instinctive; hanging wisteria is the first thing that comes to mind.  There are a few tricks I used to alter the leaves die-cuts though.  I trimmed off a few extra pieces to fit the stamped images better.  You can see what I did in the video below.  

    This bundle is super versatile!  I made two more cards in the video plus shared a bunch of swap card ideas as well.  You might be inspired to purchase it once you see them all!

  • Get great ideas with the Last bunch of the amazing In Color card swaps!

    I've shared my Flowerbugs Team In Color card swaps the last few days and today is the last bunch. I hope you're been enjoying them.  They really are the best stampers!  

    The guidelines for this month's Team swap was to use at least 2 new In Colors on our card.  

    This first one was made by Candace who used 4 out of 5 of the new In Colors!  Look at this fun layout! 

    June Candace Sweetest Cherries Save

    She used the Sweetest Cherries bundle, the 6 X 6" pack of In Color DSP and the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.  Her card base is Parakeet Party and the next layer is Starry Sky.  Super cute!

    Next up is an adorable card made by Deloris who used the Sweet Songbird bundle.

    She used Tahitian Tide, Sweet Sorbet and a bit of Parakeet Party for the leaves.  I love this sweet bundle!  

    Lastly is a fun layout Karen made using the Rectangular Postage punch.  Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Starry Sky.

    I love how she added the greeting with the same punch as the first 4 but turned horizontally.  What a fun card layout this is!

    I hope you've enjoyed all of the card ideas with our newest In Color cards.  See the first set here and the second here.

  • 2nd set of Incredible In Color card swaps by the Flowerbugs

    Yesterday I shared the first set of In Color card swaps by my Flowerbug's Team and today I'm sharing more. 

    The first card is a fun fold card made by Karen A.  This is such an easy fold as it's just adding one score line to your standard card.

    June Nothings better than Karen Save

    She chose to use the Nothing's Better Than stamp set. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party with a bit of Early Espresso & Crumb Cake for the greeting & cookies.

    For your card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4".  The Designer paper is from the In Color prints pack and measure 2 3/4" and 1" X 5 1/4" tall on both the front and inside of the card.  The inside White is 2 3/4" X 5 1/4". 

    Her front greeting elements include the new Decorative Circle punch seen here and the stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

    June Nothings better than Karen Save

    Next up – Annette used the same stamp set; 'Nothing's Better Than'. It coordinates with the Love you More Than dies.  Her colors include Sweet Sorbet and Black with just a bit of Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide & Orchid Oasis for her coloring.  

    She textured her Sweet Sorbet designer paper with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

    June Nothing's Better Than Annette Save

    The tag dies are the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.  

    Next is a fun fold card made by Marilyn featuring the Cup of Tea bundle.  Her main colors include Starry Sky and Parakeet Party.  

    June Cup of Tea Marilyn Save

    She used the Layering Circles and Stylish Shapes dies for her circle element.  The pretty texture is the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder seen here.  

    Her measurements are:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/2" & 6 1/2" 
    • DSP  5 1/4" X 2 1/4" 
    • textured layer 5 1/4" X 1 3/4"
    • inside White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8"

    The last card I'm sharing today was made by Miles & Laura and features the Flowers & Leaves punch and the 6 X 6" In Color designer series paper.  Isn't it fun!?!
