Today I am participating in the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop color challenge. I chose to use the new Friends for Life bundle for my card design.
I've been out of town and really didn't allow myself enough time to plan my card design. I am grateful for bundles like Friends for Life that make designing a quick card very easy. The hardest part was planning my colors for the challenge.
Cutting instructions:
Card Base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2". This is a top fold card.
Front matte layer: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Card front layer: 4" x 5 1/4"
Inner matte layer: 4" x 5 1/4"
Inner message liner: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

Today I had some fun creating a card using a whitewash technique for the Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. I had never used this specific technique before, so once again I stretched myself to learn something new. I rather enjoyed learning to do this and look forward to using it again on other colors. Be sure to visit the blogs listed below, to see everyone's White Wash projects! Maybe you will learn something new too!
