Snowflake Wishes

 

Welcome

Today's card was part of a challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers called Split Negative Technique.

This technique is to SPLIT a symmetrical image or pattern, while mirroring the colors.

I've never used this technique before, so I was all for trying it out.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by choosing the colours I wanted to use and the stamps, then got out my Misti. Using my Misti for the image placement really helped to get the images to line up the way I wanted.
• I placed the blue cardstock into my Misti first and stamped the snowflake using some Unicorn White ink.
• I removed that and replaced it with a piece of white cardstock and stamped the snowflake again using some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.  
• I cut both panels right down the center and glued them back together over a piece of lighter blue cardstock.
• Next, I stamped some of the dots that are included with the snowflake set, around the snowflake to add interest.
• I glued the stamped panel onto an A2 sized card base and then used some foam tape to add the sentiment over the center of the snowflake.

Thanks for coming by and taking a look.
