Using the Positive & Negative

Good morning. One of life's greatest lessons is to use both the positive and negative in our lives to shape us into a better person. I by no means have this down but by creating these cards it reminded me to learn from those negative times and rejoice with God in the positive times. Now that I am done with my philosophy for today, let's get on with the cards.

Both cards started with the same supplies.
Water color paper, kraft cardstock, water color paints, Leaf Silhouette die (PTI), Razzleberry ink (SU) and Simple Sentiments stamps (PTI).
I started by wetting down a Strathmore panel and just letting the colors swirl together. I let it dry then die cut the leaves from it.

I placed post-it tape over the die cut to keep the bits and pieces together. Then pulled the positive of leaf off. To make the second card I put some liquid glue on the back off the negative leaf parts and using the tape on the front positioned the leaves. The greeting is stamped and mounted with a little foam tape on the back. These cards were created for several challenges. 


Thanks for stopping by, Sue.

  7. 2 delicious cards and I love the grey cardbase you've used on both - it showcases the die-cut leaves beautifully both as outlines and solid images. A great idea for a 2-fer-1 and such stunning Autumn colours. Thanks for joining us at Less is More and Uniko
