Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - WhiteWash Technique / Stamping With Melva

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - WhiteWash Technique

Tuesday, 7 May 2024

Time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month our theme is White Wash. I did a really easy version of whitewash to create some moody clouds for my airplane card. So easy and I love the effect!

For this technique you need White Craft Ink and you thin it down using water. Use a Water Painter to colour or white wash over cardstock - I used Night of Navy. It creates really moody clouds when you cut the cardstock using cloud dies.

Check it out. Isn't this a great card featuring the new Adventurous Sky Bundle from the Stampin' Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue. Love this bundle!

Instructions

Cut Thick Basic White cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2". Fold and burnish on card base using Bone Folder to form card base
Thin down White Craft Ink with water and then use Water Painter to wash over a piece of Night of Navy cardstock.
Let dry.
Cut out 3 clouds and propellers from whitewashed cardstock using Dies
Cut plane from Basic White and Night of Navy cardstock using Dies
Adhere plane pieces together
Adhere propellers to plane
Adhere to Basic White cardstock using Dimensionals
Adhere clouds above and below
Stamp sentiment on Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink
Cut end off
Cut piece of white washed cardstock 1/2" x 4"
Adhere sentiment to cardstock using Mini Dimensionals and trim ends (one end straight and one end tag shaped)
Adhere to card base
Tie a small bow using White Baker's Twine and adhere to the end of the sentiment using a Glue Dot
Adhere embellishments
Stamp image on inside of card using Night of Navy ink.

You can find all of the supplies for this card in my Online Store.
