Hello and I hope you are all well, staying at home and staying safe in these extremely difficult times we find ourselves in. I'm lucky enough to still be working but to take my mind off things, I'm immersing myself in craft too. In our team, we have been challenged to make a project using the rubber band technique and this is what I came up with.
The first thing you need for this project is, of course, rubber bands and luckily I had some kicking around my office
I took my rubber bands and wrapped them randomly around my D block and inked them up in Highland Heather
I stamped this over my white layer card keeping some scrap card underneath so I could stamp over the edges
Once I had covered the card, I wiped over the block to clean off the purple ink and then reinked it in Pretty Peacock
Before I started assembling my card, I stamped a sentiment on the smaller oval shape
Now, time to assemble. I layered up the card as shown in the photo and added a tied piece of ribbon in the top corner. I also added some rhinestones for a bit of bling
What I like about this card is that you can choose any colour combination you like, and this is a perfect technique for making cards for men, which we all know, can be tricky at times.
Its not as messy as you might think but I didn't recycle the rubber bands for another project. I'm afraid they had to go in the bin.
I'll leave links to the products I used and these links go directly to my shop.
Happy crafting

For my cardstsock, I've used Purple Posy and Whisper White. My card base measures 10" x 7" scored on the long side at 5"
My layer in purple posy measures 6¾" x 4¾" and I have a whisper white layer (that I'm going to use to stamp on) measures 6½" x 4½". I've got a scrap of each colour and die cut two ovals from the Stitched Shapes dies
