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. 

Here's the video!  Click on the picture below to watch it. The Whitewashing Technique is the 2nd project I share.

  • Wow; Mixed Florals Reverse Image Technique with window sheets!


    I'm continuing to share our July team swaps featuring window sheets. 

    Look at the stunning card made by Paula. For her card swap she made a Reverse Image technique cased from Kylie Bertucci.  

    The stamp & die bundle is called Mixed Florals and can be seen here.

    She used Crushed Curry for her card base and Floral Impressions designer paper.  I'm so impressed by her gorgeous coloring with the Blends markers!  What pretty shading she achieved! 

    Below you can see how she also colored the reverse side so when you flipped up the card front it's just as pretty on the inside!  So neat.  I also love the diagonal slant on the front. 

    The card opens to reveal 3 layers!  

    Measurements:

    • Crushed Curry card base- 1 at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2", another at 7 1/4" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" (cut on the diagonal) and two extra slat pieces to cover both front & inside of the card. 
    • DSP – 4" X 5 1/4" X 3 pieces
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; plus die-cuts 


    Thanks so much for your creative & beautiful card Paula!

    Look at this super cute tractor card Candace made!  This bundle has some amazing pieces in it.  

    This new Tractor & Co bundle is from our Online store and can be found here.  

    Here's the inside view where you can see how she trimmed a portion of her card front away to create the window effect. *She'd normally stamp or add to the inside but she had to rush to get them mailed out in time.  

    Measurements:

    • White card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2". Trim away 1 3/8" from the center 
    • Navy layers – top is 5 1/4" X 1 3/8", lower is 5 1/4" X 1 1/4"
    • White torn edge 5" X 1"
    • scraps for tractor & tree die-cuts

    Her colors & sponging are amazing as usual.  She used Silver foil for her tire rims and clear rhinestones for the starry sky.
