Default Looking for a blog

I have subscribed to over 100 blogs and I love them all!

Recently I saw a technique used on a blog to white wash the cardstock to make it a lighter shade. I loved this technique and thought my puny brain would remember, so I didn't save it to my favorites.

Now, of course, my puny brain can't remember all the steps.

Did anyone else see this blog and know what I am talking about - and could you please direct me there?

Thanks,
Kathy

Default look for the blog

do you know approx what day you viewed the blog ? You can go into your computers temporary files folder and find where you were.
Or you can look into the history on your web browser.

Just some ideas. I tried to google for you but could not find a blog with exactly that.

Default Product Review

ScrapFriends has a product review HERE for several Krylon sprays, one of which is called Whitewash. The other sprays are metallic and stained glass.
It seems that the gals liked the Whitewash spray because it is very light. You don't get too much each time you spray, so you can keep adding layers until you get the look you want.

Last week there was a whitewash tutorial at http://lindastamps.wordpress.com/ but now she has moved on to the letter X. I'm not sure how you view older tutorials, I think you subscribe to her school.

I talked a little while ago on my collage blog about getting a white wash effect with Gesso. You simply brush a very small amount over your paper with a sponge brush (almost a dry brush technique). It's less messy and dries alot faster that an acrylic paint wash does.
