Stampin' Up! Calming Camellia Stamp Set With White Wash Technique

I tried the White Wash Technique on this card using the Calming Camellia Host Stamp Set which is a new Hostess stamp set featured in the NEW Sale-A-Bration brochure.  This is a distinctive stamp set which has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images.  

I cut out the scalloped rectangle using the Scalloped Contour Dies and stamped the Camellia flower image in Soft Succulent Ink and highlighted the flowers with a Water Painter and White Craft Ink Pad.

Card Details:

• Soft Succulent Cardstock card base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4"
• Soft Succulent Cardstock layer:  5 1/4" x 4" - embossed with Pretty Flowers 3D Embossing Folder
• The "You're in my thoughts today" sentiment is stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink and cut out using Layering Circle Dies

Measurements based on candy box size.  Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper 3 1/2" x 6" and 2" x 6" and hearts were cut out from DSP.
