The series is starting today and I asked if I could participate in the first post. Today Ishani and I are both CASEing the card below, which is a recent card done with the rubber band technique.
CASEing this card
Here's a close-up of my CASE of the card above.
A bird on a branch is die-cut from black card stock, a thin (1/16") black frame added to the panel and it is popped up on foam for dimension. The card is finished with a black stamped sentiment.
The colours from the Magicals are beautiful. No only the colours, but the shimmer that comes along with the Magicals. I managed to capture some of it in a closeup ... see below.
I'm adding this card to these two galleries: CAS Mix Up April Challenge - Rubber Band Technique and CAS Watercolour April Challenge - Bird.
Stamps: Many Everyday Messages (Hero Arts)
Paper: Mixed Media paper (Strathmore 140 lb. 400 Series); White card base (Neenah 110 lb.); Black (Stampin' Up!)
Ink: Versamark; Tibetan Poppy Teal (Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals)
Accessories & Tools: Brayer, rubber bands, white embossing powder, heat tool, water mister, bird on a branch die (AliExpress)
Challenges:
CAS Mix Up April Challenge - Rubber Band Technique
CAS Watercolour April Challenge - Bird
How fun! Awesome CASE of your own beautiful card, Loll. Your Magicals background is gorgeous. I need to remember to tilt my piece next time. xx

Stunning effect, love those magicals and what a fabulous way to use the rubber band technique. So unique and so very beautiful x.
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised, you are a true leader Loll and the perfect coach. I agree those Magicals are beautiful and give a gorgeous shimmer. Darn, I thought I wouldn't have to buy more supplies. Congrats dear Loll xx

OMG...this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Loll! Definitely must try this with the Magicals...stunning, STUNNING background!! Love the silhouette over the top of it too! It's no wonder Ishani wanted to CASE you and now I'm off to see what she did!! :0)
ReplyDeleteI love the way the Lindy's and water played on this, Loll! The colors are gorgeous and the depth is amazing! Such a pretty die to place over it too! Ishani couldn't pick anyone better to CASE!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful my friend! You are an inspiration to so many, you may have an idea of the number, but it is a lot!! Ishani did a wonderful job CASEing you too!! Heart Hugs, col
ReplyDeleteBeautiful watercolor card. You created such a beautiful picture, Loll. I would love to be in that place. Your card has allowed me to achieve a state of relaxation for a while. Thank you :-)

I"m a fan of rich contrast and you have achieved that on all three of these gorgeous card. Love the monochromatic color scheme, Loll. These caught my eye right away. I really must try this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea from Ishani and how sweet of you to join her! Love your CASEd card! Those magicals really look magical with that gorgeous shimmer! Fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Loll, I'm not surprised Ishani wanted to CASe you your cards are amazing and your style so distinct :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you know this but in my group of blog friends I have a Die Cut Queen, a Stencil Queen, a Silhouette Queen and I now dub you my Technique Queen. I've always enjoyed learning from you, Loll, and answering Ishani's call and helping her with the techniques and letting her CASE your cards is such a generous and warm thing to do. Those Magicals have a perfect name because they magically give such beautiful color and shine to your rubber band embossed panel.
ReplyDeleteYou would win the rubber band challenge with this stunning card if you didn't own the challenge, Lolly! This is my fave of all! That silhouette bird looks like he is backlit by a breathtaking stain glass window!! Ishani is paying you the highest compliment a card artist can get and it is very well deserved!! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteYour panel looks like wonderful glass tiling Loll - what a beautiful background for your silhouette die cut bird! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fun inspiration! I've never used the rubber band technique before but I have to give it a try! Learning new techniques and discovering them is so exciting. It makes this hobby so interesting! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to be the subject of a fellow card maker's CASEs, Loll ... Ishani will learn so much from you! Your CASE of yourself is gorgeous ... those shimmery magicals pooling in the rubber band embossing make for a stunning background for that simple silhouette bird! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that many of us would love to CASE your cards Loll with your clever use of techniques and colour, and Ishani has just beaten us to it...lol. I love the way you have CASEd your own card and beautifully. The black silhouette die cut bird sits very happily over that beautiful white embossed rubber band background which has the look of cracked ice, and the Lindy's Magicals with their gorgeous shimmer have given a stunning finish. x
