Ok, this isn't what I planned on making with this technique. Believe me I tried all sorts of things because my mind just wanders with ideas.
Here is my story:
I made this card for the New Technique challenge. We were to use rubber bands and embossing powder. I wrapped rubber bands on a piece of wood several times making sure they were flat and used the versamark ink onto white c/s. Heat set with gold powder. I sponged several inks onto the embossed c/s. I traced the egg pattern from a quilt book and made a template. Traced the template onto the back of the gold c/s. I used the kraft knife to cut it out to make the hole. Then I used the CB textile folder on the gold c/s. I trimmed the embossed c/s to make it fit underneath the gold. I took a piece of acetate tubing that my kids had for their kites and cut it to fit the card. I used tacky tape to secure in place. I added ribbon for the finished look. I decided to put the plastic on because it just didn't look right without it. I stopped here because I didn't know if it needed something else, so I left it like this. Thanks for the challenge. Have a wonderful day.
What do you think? Does it need anything else?
The acetate is hard to see in the picture, but IRL it appears shiny.

This beautiful egg just glows. The effect reminds me of stained glass. Very pretty!
