City Crafter 299

Good Morning!

I'm hosting the challenge over at City Crafter today and I've chosen the theme
Negativity 


Create a card or project using the negative part of a die
(The part that's left after you cut out the shape)

Here's my card


I did some sponging and stamping on my card base and cut out a butterfly on another piece of card to use the negative


Just to finish it off a little I cut some antennae from a scrap of paper and added some sequins
The BG stamp is by Woodware and the sentiment stamp is from a set by Wplus 9


 Our month long Guest Designer is the lovely Andie Miller ... Hop on over to the blog to see what she's created for us and check out the projects from the rest of our team

The challenge over at AAA Cards at the moment is Sequins

So I'd like to enter my card there too ...

Like my sentiment says, I hope you have a beautiful day!

This may be my all-time favorite negative die cut card, Ros! Never thought to use flowers behind a butterfly & I absolutely love it--stunning work!

Wow, it's stunning! The few cleverly placed sequins are the perfect touch!

Talk about a brilliant design! This is so simple, but so very impactful! Your choice of stamps to show through was inspired! I love it, Ros, I'm pinning it, and I love your new blog banner! Haha, I'll just say it every time now because I've not gotten used to seeing it yet even though you did it a while ago. Plus, there is the hallucinating, but we'll sweep that under the rug! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell

You are so talented with using inks on your cards. The colors create a lovely butterfly in the negative. Really pretty Ros.

Hi Ros, your card really jumped out at me in the gallery such a beautiful stamp coloured to perfection. The added details the antenna and the placement makes for one beautiful card.
