Technique Tuesday – Masked Rubber Band Technique
At last month’s Technique Tuesday class, I taught the Masked Rubber Bank Technique. The technique uses some basic supplies – clear block, rubber bands, sponges, and a DIY mask for your cardstock.
Here is the card we made:
How did we do the technique? Here are the instructions:
Supplies
- Clear Block
- Various-Sized Rubber Bands
- Coordinating Inks (at least 2)
- Sponge
- Mask
- Glue stick or light adhesive
- Neutral Card Stock
Instructions
- Create a mask, leaving about a 1”-2” opening. I use three small pieces of grid paper, taping a top and bottom with an opening in between.
- Dab a little glue on the back of the card stock. Sneak card stock under opening.
- Put rubber bands over clear block – spread them out for best coverage.
- Ink rubber banded block in darker ink.
- Stamp block on the unmasked card stock.
- Take sponge and lightly ink all over unmasked section in the lightest ink color.
You could sponge first and then stamp with the rubber banded clear block. However, I like how sometimes the ink gets blurry with sponging – it gives a little more depth to the background.
