Whitewash Technique for dark card stock

Hello Everyone ~ have you tried the Whitewash Technique for dark card stock yet?

I don’t know about you but I go through phases where I just need to do something different from what I have been doing.  That was what I decided to do for today’s card.

When I need to shake things up a bit I always go looking for techniques.  One technique I have not used in a while is the Whitewash Technique.  This is the perfect technique for dark card stock.  While you have to allow for drying time, the technique is really easy to do.  Check out the video to see how I used this technique for a pretty card.
