Split Negative Technique

Hello Stampers,

At our last Technique Club we made a card with the Split Negative technique.  This technique is really effective and not difficult to accomplish.  You don’t need a symmentrical image – any image will work.

You will need 2 colours of cardstock – one will be a neutral (white or vanilla) and the other will match the colour of embossing powder you are using on this piece. 

For this sample I used the Cherry Cobbler EP on the Whisper White cardstock and I used the White EP on the Cheery Cobbler cardstock.  You will have enough pieces to make 2 cards because you’ll use 1/2 of each piece on the card.Cut the image in 1/2 and put it together with the opposite colour. 

I find that if I cut the cardstock to the size of the block it’s much easier to match up the pieces.  In the case of the heart I cut the images in 1/2 and attached them to another piece.  Then I ran it through the Big Shot using the Hearts Framelits.

This was the card I gave my husband for Valentine’s Day – I made another one for my son’s girlfriend too.  Good for men and women!
