Oval Occasions Bright Happy Birthday Card using the Rubber Band Techinque. Stampin' Birds Weekly Challenge

 Good Morning Everyone,

Today I have a fab card to share with you. We were challenged this week in our Stampin Birds team to create a projects using the Rubber Band Technique. I love this technique, its so much fun and you can get some awesome results. I used a selection of bright and bold colours to make a great background for my simple card.

Measurements

Basic Black Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7.8"

1pc - scrap

Basic White Card Stock

2pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

1pc - scrap

Fold your basic black Cardstock along the score line and add one of the basic white pieces to the inside.

Take a clear block, and wrap a load of rubber bands around it covering the block like this..

Insert

Now take the block and ink it up as you would a stamp and stamp onto your other piece of basic white. Repeat this process for all the required colours. I cleaned my 'stamp' off with baby wipes after each colour, but you could use new clean bands each time if you prefer ( TIP.. once finished hold the clear block over the bin and then snip away. This is the easiest and least messy way!!).

Add this panel to the card front.

Bring in your Cut & Emboss machine and using the Stitched shapes dies, cut out a large circle in basic black and the next size down in basic white.

Stamp the sentiment in Memento into the centre of the basic white circle, then layer onto the black one. Add three rhinestones above the sentiment, and three below.

Add this to the centre of the card.
