CCEE1537. Swap Ideas Day

It's Thursday, CCEE Stampers challenge day.  I, Lois, am continuing as hostess for the month of September.    In honor of today's weird holiday (Swap Ideas Day), I'm asking you to make a card using a technique you've learned and want to share.  Either describe the details of the technique or link to a tutorial on the web.

Tutorial found here >>> Northern Lights Technique





This is a Box Card.

Here's a side view:

Bandanna/bandana technique: stamp a background stamp or multiple images on coloured (or sponged) cardstock. Then doodle away round the stamped image with a white gel pen to give a bandanna effect.

I did a variation on Lydia's Misti Marble technique. I guess you could call this the Misti striping technique.
