The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video

I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle.

You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here.

Please watch the video to see how to do this.  Here are some tips:

  • I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
  • Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
  • If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink. 
  • I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.  
  • You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image.

I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.  

The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to.

    Next is a sweet card made by Candy who also used this bundle:

    Save

    Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon & Pumpkin Pie.

    She textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Plaid 3D embossing folder. The circle is about 2 1/2″ around and is a Stylish Shapes die-cut as well as the greeting die-cut.

    ~~~

    And lastly today is a perfectly Autumn card made by Gwen. It’s her first time swapping! She did a wonderful job!

    Save

    Each of these cards features the More Than Autumn bundle and they’re all so unique. It’s a pretty big bundle with a wide variety of images and dies. She used the new Gathering Together specialty paper seen here. She added a center strip under her images that’s 1 3/4″ wide. Cajun Craze with Very Vanilla are her card stock colors. The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies.

    Thanks for stopping in; I hope you enjoyed the card swaps today. I’ll share more soon!

  • A neat vertical ‘Book Binding’ card fold with video tutorial

    Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. It’s a neat book binding card that’s vertical instead of the usual horizontal card.

    Save

    The colors include Gray Granite & Early Espresso with White. I chose these colors to match the Toile designer paper from the Holiday Catalog. See it here.

    Save

    The view above shows the card open. The card starts as a normal 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ card base but has two extra score lines. See the measurements and directions here on the free project sheet. Click on this link to download or print it.

    I made multiples of this card for an online swap I participated in. I love swapping and making multiples of the same card.

  • Double Flap fold with Branching Out with video & free project sheet

    I shared this card on last week’s Live:

    Save

    It features the new Branching Out bundle from the 2025 Holiday catalog from Stampin’ Up! See the bundle here.

    Save

    My colors include Early Espresso with Old Olive, Pecan Pie & White.

    Save

    It opens with two flaps; one on the right opens first. Then the left does too. As you can see I textured the Olive layer with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder. The notched frame dies are included in the Branching Out bundle.

    The designer paper on the left is the Need for Tweed seen here.

    Save
