Rubber Band Technique

Here is a fun and Oh So Simple way to give your card or scrapbook page backgrounds a great look.

All you have to do is wrap a few rubber backs around one of your Clear Acrylic Blocks. Wrap them in different directions.

Then use you VersaMark pad & tap your banded block into it and stamp on a piece of white cardstock. Sprinkle white embossing powder over the background and heat. Using sponge dabbers and ink pads, pick up what ever colors you want on the background and sponge on. When you're done, just wipe over the entire piece with a tissue to remove any ink from the embossing.

For variation, you can start with a colored piece of cardstock and use colored embossing powder for a unique background.

You can even stamp a background first or use background & texture paper and stamp over that with the VersaMark and rubber bands and use gold EP on it.

Just play around and experiment. There are so many options with this technique.
