It is always fun to try out a new technique. This was one I had seen on Pinterest and
really wanted to try. I think the
Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set is perfect for it. It is a simple tone on tone card with white
washing using blender pens.
Here is what it looks like…
This is really a very simple technique that gives you
a wow affect with little work. Here is
how I created it. The card base is Night
of Navy cardstock that is cut 5 ½ x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. I then cut a layer of Misty Moonlight
cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the sunflowers from the Celebrate Sunflowers
stamp set randomly on the layer with Night of Navy ink. I then pressed one of my small clear blocks
into my Whisper White Craft Stampin’ Pad and picked up some of the white ink
onto the block. I then used my blender
pen to pick up that white ink and paint in different areas of the sunflowers. I really found the whole technique to be
quite calming.
Once I had the amount of white ink, I wanted on each
of the flowers (be careful because it does dry darker) I went to work on my
sentiment. I stamped the sentiment “Thanks
a Bunch” from the stamp set onto a scrap of Night of Navy cardstock using VersaMark
Ink. I then added White Stampin’ Emboss
Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool.
Once it was all done I simply fussy cut it out and added it to the front
of my card using Mini Dimensionals.
I hope you enjoy this card and the technique, I sure
enjoyed making it. As always you can
