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!

  • Seashells fun fold card; wow!

    Sharon created this gorgeous 'dutch door' fun-fold card for our February Team swap.

    I think stamping on the die-cut shell before embossing is the neatest idea!  She used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with the Seashells 3D embossing folder. 

    Her colors are Blushing Bride with Gray Granite and our new Pearlescent Paper.  This specialty paper is absolutely stunning! See it here.

    That great texture on the back layer is made with the Painted Texture embossing folder seen here.

  • Playful & unique cards with Oh So Ombre’ Designer paper!

    Do you have the fabulous Oh So Ombre' Designer Series Paper yet?  If not here are three creative reasons you need it!

    Feb 16 Oh So Ombre Save

    Aren't they fun!  I really wanted to show you how amazing this designer paper is so I played and came up with these neat card ideas.  First is a starburst card in two colors; Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss.  

    I used the fabulous Stitched Star dies and the Oval Occasions stamp set.  Watch the video below to see just how easy it is to make one of these gorgeous cards. 

    Feb 16 Oh So Ombre Starburst Save

    Next I played with the Dandy Wishes dies (2021 Spring Catalog) to create these 'Retro' style cards.  I first die-cut a bunch of 'windows' in the White panel.  Then added punched circles of the Oh So Ombre DSP behind them.  Next I textured the entire thing with an embossing folder.  

    Feb 16 Oh So Ombre Starburst Save

    For the last card I wanted to use those retro style die-cuts so I created this Ombre panel card.  The stamp set is from Field of Flowers.
