Split negative butterflies

 stamps used:  Catherine Pooler wings of joy stamp set

This technique is called Split Negative ... mainly because you cut (split) the card in half then match it up with a second color.  Doing this technique you get two cards for the price of one....which is always a good thing.

basic instructions:
1.  stamp image onto two different colors of cardstock.  Using a stamp positioner is a good tool for this technique to keep the image in the same position.
2.  cut one of the cards in half but keep one in tact.

3.  adhere the cut half to the full card .... matching up the image.  sometimes you need to trim a little to make the card even.
Check out this post here, here, and in this post from 2012.
You can type split negative in the search box over on my side bar to see them.
thanks for stopping by.  come back again soon.
