Magnolia Whitewash Technique 

This is such a fun and addicting technique. Get out your Aquapainter and inks and have fun!!

I first stamped the Magnolia Bloom in VersaMark then heat embossed it in Gold Embossing Powder. Then using your Aquapainter with just a small amount of water, paint on a light layer of Whisper White Craft Ink. Let it completely dry. Then using Old Olive and Melon Mambo inks, (squeezing the lid of the ink pad  leaves a little pool of ink inside the lid, this is your palette) colour in the flower and leaves. I started off with a very light coat of ink, then went back and highlighted some areas with a slightly darker layer. I kept the card design very simple, I wanted the flower to be the focus! I also didn't add any sentiment to the card front, this way it can be used for almost any occasion! 

Supplies Used:
Card Stock: Crumb Cake and Basic Black
Ink: Versamark, Whisper White Craft Ink, Old Olive and Melon Mambo Classic Ink
Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Glittered Organdy Black Ribbon

Give this technique a try!!


Happy stamping and Creating!
