The VIP Club made cards this month using the whitewashing technique. It's a pretty simple, yet stunning technique. All you need is white craft ink and an aqua painter! For all three cards we made, we heat embossed the image first, so a heat tool, Versamark, and embossing powder would also be helpful. Oh, and don't forget an embossing buddy to reduce the static and keep the powder where you want!
Here are the 3 cards we made:
Here are the 3 cards we made:
 | I love how this card turned out using the Happy Birthday To You stamp set which you can get for free during Sale-A-Bration when you place a $50 order. I used Pretty Peacock cardstock which proved to be a great option to make sure the whitewash popped. In the background, I used Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint using the aqua painter. The cake was heat embossed in white and then after whitewashing, added rhinestones to the flowers. The cake was cut out using dies coming February 4th, while supplies last through Sale-A-Bration. Stay tuned! |
| For the second card, we used the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and heat embossed in gold on Crumb Cake cardstock. Crumb cake seems to be the best color for this technique. We whitewashed the magnolia then sponged with Petal Pink ink using a sponge dauber. Such a beautiful card CASEd from Linda Dalke if you want to check out her video. |  |
 | And for the last card, we used the Accented Blooms stamp set, heat embossed in white on Rich Razzleberry cardstock. The sentiment was stamped in Pretty Peacock, and then punched out using the coordinating Tailored Tag punch. In the background, we used a piece of the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper, free with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration. The card base was using Call Me Clover cardstock. |
