The Varks crew had the privilege of designing with Core'dinations new Whitewash cardstockcollection. For the first card I used five different embossing folders to create lots of texture. In addition to the whitewash cardstock, I also added in some papers from their super assortment, which also have the great contrasting core colors.
The bunny is from the Detours set by October Afternoon … the sentiment is Unity Stamp Company.
This next card features a fun Halloween stamp from Inkadinkado that was stamped directly on the Whitewash paper, clear embossed, and then painted with some Shimmerz Glitter Paint. I love how the Spider Web embossed on the Whitewash paper. I did lots of sanding and inking on this one. The bats are a Martha Stewart punch.
And lastly, Whitewash cardstock is perfect for winter cards. I love how the texture of the cardstock shows through on the stamped Inkadinkado snowman. The adorable sentiment is from A Muse.
The snowflake background was sanded. I use a slightly damp baby wipe to remove the extra dust and bring out the color of the core. The border punch is new from EK Success and the snowflake punch is Martha Stewart.
