Split Negative Effect...


This card is made with the "split negative" effect. The same image is stamped twice - once in embossed white on the colored cardstock and once in a matching color (in this case I embossed with clear power). The cards are then cut in half - in this case I cut them diagonally. You then put the 2 pieces together with the images matching. The trickiest thing is getting the images stamped in the same location on both pieces. What I do is cut the cardstock the same size as a wood mount (or the edge of the clear mount) and then place a stamp positioner in the lower left corner, then use it to place the stamp on the cardstock. This gets the image in the same location on both pieces of cardstock. This is a cling mount stamp from Hero Arts and the designer paper is from SEI.
