Here's my card:
This time I used Distress Oxide Ink for this technique.
First, I sponged and blended a few inks to make the background. Next, I inked up the thin and thick rubber bands, wrapped them around my brayer, and rolled it over the background. Then I lightly sponged over the background again with Broken China to soften the rubber band lines.
The front panel was die-cut and the sentiment was stamped with Iced Spruce.
I liked that the background turned out to be ethereal and appropriate for the occasion.
I used Rubber Band Technique + Stamping + Die-cutting for the card.
