SSNOTIME73 LET'S GET NEGATIVE***

Hi everyone!! Time for Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge and this time we are getting negative*** with negative images that is!!!



You can do this challenge by using negative images of punches or die cuts OR by using a negative image, or reversed out, stamp. (When punching out a shape, the negative image is the sheet left over with the hole in it, rather than the object punched. A negative image stamp is one where the main image or words are left unstamped, but all the surrounding area is stamped - just the opposite of a normal stamp) To clarify, you MAY use the punched or die cut shape ALONG WITH your negative image if you desire, as long as the negative image is used as well. Same with stamps -- you may use a regular stamp, as long as a negative image is used. As long as there is one negative image on your card it's OK, you need not incorporate both stamps and punches, but you have the option to use either.

Here is mine!! I wanted to keep this super simple so I used a Martha Stewart punch and punched out 5 flowers out of the dark cardstock and then put a white piece in behind. I added some pearl accents and a white ribbon. It is a bit of an illusion because the sentiment flower is a punched piece that I added. Hope you like it!! Remember to keep it simple when you play***

It is a bit of an allusion, Janine, I had to stare at the flowers for a minute to work out which were negative and which positive. But maybe that's just me!
Very striking, the choice of colours really make it pop.
