I was going to try the whitewash challenges on a layout... but the whitewashing effect was a dismal failure on that attempt.  So I decided that maybe I should go smaller for now.  Today's Finally Friday video at Two Peas challenged viewers to make a mini card, so I went *really* small (the card measures 3" wide by 3.75" tall)...

This card satisfies three challenges:  use hearts on a project, draw on a project, and use the technique in the whitewash tutorial.  It also probably satisfies the "use your stash" challenge, even though it's all plain cardstock and basic supplies (no fancy brands for me :-/). 

I punched out tiny hearts with an old punch I have and glued them to a piece of white cardstock.  I used the basic idea of the whitewash tutorial (click for link) with my acrylic paints (white with tiny amounts of red and yellow to make a creamy color). 

Then I doodled with a black pen over one of the hearts after everything dried.  I totally copied the idea from the Finally Friday video for the ribbon. 

On the inside there's a pale lavender block of cardstock for writing my message, and I glued down three hearts (no whitewashing) and doodled on the front one. 

Supplies:
cardstock
ribbon
heart punch
corner rounder punch
acrylic paint
(all of these supplies are over a year old)

this is adorable.  cards are my fave way to try out new techniques - way less pressure!! =)
