Banded Birdie

I was so excited to see Jami (sgtStamper at SCS) as the featured stamper for this week. Of course, I had to play along. I chose this card from Jami's gallery for my inspiration. I also incorporated the technique challenge, rubber band stamping, from Monday into my card.

We were to change at least two things on our card from the inspiration card. I changed the colors, stamps and adjusted the layout a bit. The oval background is sponged and the lavender layer uses the rubber band stamping technique.

To do the rubber band technique, I placed several rubber bands on an acrylic block. Then I stamped a piece of cardstock several times, in a random pattern, with Versa Mark.

Used clear embossing powder to heat emboss.

Then I sponged with Almost Amethyst and Lavender Lace inks, going darker at the edges.

My bird, from Home Tweet Home, is colored with Copic markers and cut out. I used So Saffron and Certainly Celery to sponge the oval.

Thanks for looking! I hope you day is fantastic!
