Jacqueline made a beautiful card with this stamp for a recent teaparty, white embossing on white. For a more pastel look and extra cookies, I used the whitewash technique (in the tutorials section), embossing with white on kraft, washing with dilute white pigment re-inker, and then colouring with Inktense pencils when the whitewash was dry. I added a Posca pen border and distressed the edges.
For the card base I found some green in a similar shade to how I had coloured the foliage. To keep the soft look, I overlaid it with vellum embossed with the tin tiles ef. To get round the perennial problem of how to attach the vellum, I punched two small circles through both layers and threaded ribbon through, after first trying out the recent gilded ribbon tutorial: Gilded Ribbon Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

Very, very pretty and especially that gorgeous mint colored and whitewashed background. Great work on attaching the vellum with the ribbon - lovely way to solve that perennial problem. Beautiful card.

That whitewashing technique yields stunning results! Sound a bit labor intense for me, wink! Isn’t funny where we draw the line to favor another equally labor intensive technique? I do love the ‘feel’ and that fab bg, great depth.
