Until I saw the challenge at http://rainbowladyschallengeblog.blogspot.com/ this week I had never heard of the bandana technique. This is one of the great things about doing challenges you learn new things all the time.
I followed the links and also googled for more information. The more I found out the more I wanted to have a go. This card is my finished project - there was a lot of practising along the way on scraps to check the effect and I didn't find it easy to get a smooth white line. Maybe that depends on the pen you use, but I am sort of pleased with the finished result.
The stamps used are from a clear set of stamps by Heidi Grace and include swirls and delicious spiky flower heads. I found that they lent themselves quite well to this technique.
Materials used:
- red, black and white card
- Heidi Grace clear stamps
- Black versemark ink pad
- White Sakura gel pen
- black organza ribbon
- silver sentiment peel off (coloured with black peel off marker)
