The Magnolia Mood stamp set used to make a whitewash card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Whitewashed Magnolia card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects made using the whitewash technique. This is a technique I haven’t used in a long while and had so much fun playing with it again. I have used the gorgeous Magnolia Mood stamp set to make my card.

 

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the whitewashed magnolia card, you will need:

Berry Burst card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – with rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – with rounded upper right corner
Crumb Cake card – 5” by 3¼” – with rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – for the inside – with rounded upper right corner

 

I stamped the large magnolia image onto the Crumb Cake card panel using Versamark ink. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

I pressed the Whisper White ink pad to a small Acrylic Block. A damp Water Painter was used to paint the Whisper White ink onto each of the petals of the magnolia.

After letting the white ink dry, I added Berry Burst ink to the petals using an almost empty Wink of Stella Pen, this gave a subtle shimmer to the petals.

The sentiment, from the Something Fancy stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the 2½” by 1¼” layer of Basic White card. I die cut it using another of the Deckled Rectangle Dies. The sentiment was then glued to the 2½” by 1¼” panel of Poppy Parade card. This was then added to the card base.

A Gingham Ribbon Bow and a trio of Classic Matte Dots finished the card.

Embossed Enduring Beauty card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by the theme of Flora or Fauna. I have gone with flora and used the stunning Enduring Beauty Bundle to make my card.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the embossed enduring beauty card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 4⅞” by 3½”
One Horse Open Sleigh dsp – 5¼” by 4”
Basic White card – 5” by 4”
Soft Sea Foam card – 2¼” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

 

Using the Deckled Rectangles, I die cut a rectangle from the piece of One Horse Open Sleigh dsp. This was then glued to the 5” by 4” piece of Basic White card. I wrapped a piece of Iridescent Ribbon around the panel and adhered the piece to the Soft Sea Foam card base.

The 2nd mask was positioned, exposing the leaves. Using Blending Brushes I lightly inked with Old Olive. I decided not to add the detailed image as the black embossing gives a lot of dimension already.
