An easy Whitewashing Technique with our Retiring In Colors

February 2, 2022

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.

Save

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!

Hot Dog; what an amazing fun fold card!

March 19, 2021
Have you been enjoying the window cards I've shared this week? I have more coming tomorrow! My Flowerbug's Team amaze me each and every month. They really put effort into creating incredible projects like this fun & amazing card Annette made with the Hot Dot stamp set!

I was blown away by it! She based her colors off of the Playful Pets designer paper seen here. *this will likely retire in a week!

It took a lot of time and effort into lining up the Stitched Nested Label dies so the Real Red window lined up with the inside layers. She told me that she adhered the designer paper to the front of the card before die-cutting the window. She did by placing the die between the layers cutting side up; in the middle of the card itself. That takes some patience in lining it all up!

Two Unique Window cards with Dragonfly Dreams & Soar Confidently stamp sets.

March 18, 2021

I'm featuring our Team Swaps this week and the theme was 'window cards'. I was so impressed with each and every one of them!

First up is Deloris's card with the Dragonfly Garden stamp set seen here.

The little dragonfly is from the Dragonfly Punch which is in the Dragonfly Garden bundle seen here.

Save

She used two of the Stitched Label dies and the Subtle embossing folder. Her colors are Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry. I believe she colored the flowers in with Blends markers. Beautiful job!

*The greeting and die-cut are retired and not currently available.

Next is a gorgeous card made by Ginny. She used the Oval dies and the Soar Confidently stamp set seen here.

Save

Her colors are Crumb Cake with Soft Suede & Vanilla. That great texture is from the Tasteful Textile folder in the annual catalog. Adding a bit of color to the balloon really makes it stand out! Take a look at the inside!
