Whitewashing with Tasteful Touches
What are the odds? It was getting dark outside this afternoon so I checked the weather. It felt like it could rain, but the weather app said only 15% change. Glad I didn't go by them. We had two downpours. I'm not complaining because we could use the rain. But, on the other hand, there are times when it says 80% change and we get none! What are the chances? For me, I don't have to water my plants tonight!
I've done the whitewashing technique before, but always on Crumb Cake. After seeing a card on Pinterest, I had to try it on Misty Moonlight.
This is one of my favorite techniques to do!
I stamped the images in Night of Navy, not Misty Moonlight. The flower images showed up much better using the Night of Navy. I wanted the definitation of the flowers.
The flowers are then colored with the Craft Whisper White ink pad and blender pens. Just color the flowers until you get the right shade of whitewashing you want. I tried to do more white on the middle and lesser on the outside petals. Some petals were better than others, but that's what make it unique and special.
After the petals were whitewashed, color them with the Wink of Stella. A little shimmer is always good.
When it comes to using the Lovely Label Pick a Punch, don't do what I did wrong. Do you see it?
Oops, I used both punch ends and didn't notice it right away! Glad I corrected it before it was adhered to the card.
I'm not always perfect!
