I tell you, I just can't get enough of this split negative technique.  This Seraphim wings stamp from Unity stamp co. just works so well with this technique.

stamp/supplies used:  Unity Seraphim wings, Catherine Pooler inks

Instructions:

1.  Cut one piece of white cardstock and one piece of colored cardstock the same size. 

2.  Place cardstock in Misti stamping positioner.  Stamp butterfly with color inks on white cardstock.  On colored cardstock use tone on tone color.

3.  Cut each stamped butterfly cards in half or a bit more or less.  You will have two pieces of stamped white card, and colored stamped card.  

4.  Add glue to a scrap piece of cardstock, then glue one of the pieces of cards with butterfly to half of it.  Match up the opposite butterfly to the one that is glued to the scrap piece of cardstock.  You should have a white card, and a colored card together to form the split negative image.

5. Next what I like to do is die cut out the split negative butterfly with a die shape.  In this case I used Unity stamp co. deckle edge rectangles die set.  

6.  Adhere split negative piece to A2 card.

As you can see I cannot stop making this type of card.  Maybe I should find another image.  What do you think?

I will be entering this card into Unity stamp co. challenge

 in Unity show & tell on facebook.

stamps used: Unity Seraphim Wings stamp set

This is another technique that makes two for one cards.  This is also an oldie but goodie technique, that I like to fall back into when I want to make multiple of cards.

Instructions:

1.  Cut one piece of cream cardstock and one piece of colored cardstock the same size.

2.  Place cardstock in Misti stamping positioner.  Stamp butterfly with black ink.  Do this for both pieces of cardstock.

3.  Cut each stamped butterfly in half.  You will have two pieces of stamped cream card, and colored stamped card.  For my cards the piece are 2 1/2" x 3 3/4".  

4.  Cut piece 5 1/4" x 4" cream and color cardstock.  Cut one of these piece in half and adhere to full 5 1/4" x 4" cardstock.

5.  Adhere opposite color of halved butterflies to 5 1/4"x4" cardstock.  Then layer onto A2 card.

Here are a couple more Butterfly Split Negative cards. 

On this one I used pink cards and ink.

On purple card again I used black ink.

It's a fun technique that I hope you will try.  You can see more on this post from 2012, or here from 2020.  You can go to search bar, and type in Split Negative to see even more from me.
