I’ve been working on cards this week for a Dreaming About Rubber Stamps Team swap. The theme of the swap was new catalogue sets so I decided to use Regarding Dahlias to make my cards.
Next up was to choose colours. I had decided on a Smoky Slate/Basic Gray combination and wanted to add another color to make them pop. So, I added Melon Mambo because I knew that I needed embossing powder for the Split Negative technique I wanted to use.
For this technique, you stamp the image twice onto a lighter and a darker cardstock. You can also use two different colors of embossing powder if you wish. Cut each piece in half and align them. I find it best to leave the card stock a little long so it is easier to piece them together. I generally make my pieces the size of a quarter sheet of cardstock then adhere the two halves to a second piece of cardstock that is the right size for layering and trim. This technique will make two cards when you put the two colors together.
Last, I added my greeting. The Regarding Dahlias stamp set includes four great greeting so I just had to choose one, stamp and emboss and punch out with the Artisan Punch. I placed the Smoky Slate on the Whisper White side and reversed the colors the second time.
