CAS Mix Up April 2018 - Rubber Band Technique

Hello friends.  Playing along with this month's challenge over at CAS Mix Up where the challenge is to do the RUBBER BAND Technique.


This was a really FUN technique once I got the hang of it!  I have 3 cards to share with you today...my first try is just ok, but I really like how my 2nd and 3rd tries came out!


 I used Versamark on my rubber bands to make my background on this first try, and while it's not terrible, it just didn't thrill me!  The leaf is from PTI's Leave It Be stamp set, and the sentiment from PTI's Keep It Simple: Thank You.  The dry embossed background was from my sweet friend Bonnie.  Again, not a terrible card and I will definitely use it, but I like how my next 2 came out much better!

 
I used GinaK's Jelly Bean Green ink on thicker rubber bands and stamped it multiple times for my background on this card.  The stamp is from Alesa Baker Designs (Impression Obsession F8726) and I just simply stamped it in black over the background and then used a wonky stitched die frame (Gina Marie Designs) to cut it out.  I layered it with a piece of Pear Pizazz cardstock and mounted to a white card base.  The sentiment is from PTI's Winter Woods.



For my last card I used the same thicker rubber bands and stamped multiple times again, but used 2 colors of ink...GinaK's Jelly Bean Green and Ocean Mist.  Used another silhouette stamp from Impression Obsession...this one is from Tara Caldwell (F16147).  I used a larger wonky stitched die frame (Gina Marie Designs) this time and simply mounted to my white card base.  The sentiment on this one is also from PTI's Winter Woods.  These cards were so simple and easy to create and I just LOVE how they turned out!!  FUN, FUN technique!!

There's still quite a bit of time to play along with this challenge, so check out all the FABULOUS cards from the DT, and then play along!  You can find it all right HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

    These are so cool with the rubberband stamped backgrounds! I like them all but the one stamped in all green makes me think of bamboo. What a fun technique! Have I ever told you I wished we lived closer so I could come to your house and play? ;0)

    Oh, my sentiments exactly, Birgit and Marcia, wish we could play together at least once a week...sigh...the rubberband technique is quite addicting isn't it? I have a couple of more that I made and still have one pink I need to put together...who made days with only 24 hours? Certainly NOT a crafter!! *wink Happy day friend...how are your knees? Heart Hugs, Col

    Wow, Marcia, you sure had fun with this technique! I have an idea that you aren't finished yet either. It is a fun technique and you have done three fabulous cards! Love the pretty leaf design with the twine! And both silhouetted birds are so pretty! I like them with the green and with the green and blue! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up, my friend!

    You had great success with your rubber band cards Marcia. All three are awesome. I really like the tone-on-tone with the beautiful leaf of your first card. It's more delicate using the thinner bands. You seem happier with the cards using the thicker bands. It does make more of a statement. The cards are really beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx

    You are on a roll with this technique, Marcia! Three awesome cards! I especially love the bold rubber band stamping. They stand out even with the black silhouettes (birds). Love the dynamic feeling. Hideko xx
