Today is my monthly technique class and I am really looking forward to share this awesome technique with my stamping friends.
The technique is called “Sanded Whitewash” and you use darker Cardstock and paint it with Gesso, let dry and then texture with embossing folder. Then the raised surface gets sanded, revealing the cardstock color underneath. You may want to click on the photo to enlarge it so you can see the details on the background.
Sneak Peek alert! The stamp set used in the following card will be available next month! It’s the “Strength & Hope” Breast Cancer Foundation stamp set…
Here it is:

This is my other card:
pardon the pinkish tint! I tried out an additional light source when I took this photo and it really didn’t do much good. Mental note to self: “DON’T do that again!”
