Elegance with Rubber Bands

Hello dear friends and welcome.

Today' I'm sharing another card using Rubber Band Stamping.

Using Rubber Band Technique, Inlaid Die Cuts, Watercolor and Stamping.

We're having a lot of fun using rubber bands for stamping thanks to 
Julia, who is hosting CAS Mix Up this month.

If you're unsure of this technique, check out the challenge site. 
There are videos that will show how to do it.
Let me warn you, it is addictive!

First I die cut this beautiful flower from a piece of Mixed Media Paper.

I used re-inkers in my pallette with a water brush to color the die cut flower.

While the flower was drying, I put thin rubber bands around a discard wood block,
inked it with Antique Linen Distress Ink and stamped around the outcut. 

When the watercolor was dry, I popped it back in the outcut and 
layered it onto a card.

I had a little glitter dot, a gift from The Foiled Fox with an order,
and I popped it over the center of the flower.

  8. Such a beautiful spring card Bonnie. There's nothing happier than a yellow flowers. :) Great idea with inlaying the die-cut. Using the rubber bands on the out-cut before adding your flower is so clever. xx

  9. I got my brayer and made the background. Now I just have to decide what to put with it. Your flower fits nicely inlaid in the panel with the wonderful yellow borders to match, Bonnie.
