Hello everyone! Today's Technique Lover's Challenge was to use multiple rubber bands on a block of wood and stamp with either VersaMark, or Craft Ink... and then either emboss, sponge or whatever to get an interesting background. I chose to use VersaMark and emboss with copper ep, then again with gold ep. I also used the sketch for ODBDSV02. I started out making the fishing image from ODB and it didn't look that great with this bg I made, but I had this Sweet 'n Sassy Chickadee on my desk that I had colored with Copics, and I liked how it looked. The narrow side is brushed gold paper run through the cb.
Hope you like it. I needed a masculine card so I hope this fills the bill.

This is gorgeous! I love the way you used 2 colors of the EP as well as the great coloring of your bird. Great job!

Grace, what a pretty card. I love how you paired your dry embossed side with the rubberband side. They make a beautiful backdrop to this wonderfully colored chickadee.
