Blissful Greetings

If you are already going to make a mess, why not make a huge mess. Double the pleasure with this split negative technique. It takes the same amount of time to clean up a small mess as a big mess. Thoughts?

There is a tutorial on Split Coast Stampers for the Split Negative Technique that I followed. Take a look. They guide you step by step.

I heat embossed the image on Cherry Cobbler, using Blushing Bride Embossing Powder, and Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder onto the Blushing Bride panel.

I then cut (split) the image in half and then matched the two different panels next to each other as shown above. 

Next, I adhered the two panels onto the top of a Moody Mauve matte, and stamped the bottom of the Moody Mauve with my sentiments: Happy Birthday and Thank You, both from the Go To Greetings.

I then wrapped a Diamond Weave Ribbon around the panel to conceal the seam. 

Next, I adhered the panel onto the Blushing Bride card front.

Lastly, I added a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels and adhered a Basic White panel onto the inside of the card.

Sheltering Tree Bookmark Card

Books are not obsolete. So, here is a card with a detachable bookmark for you to gift to someone special. I was inspired by Debbie Henderson's You Tube video that you can see HERE.

Stamps: Sheltering Tree, Hello There, Bliss
Paper: Old Olive 5 1/2 x 10 1/2, Whisper White 5 x 3 3/4 (2), 5 x 1 5/8
Ink: Old Olive, Early Espresso, Tangerine Tango, Summer Sun
Technique: Sponging
Accessories: Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, Glue Dot, Tag Punch, Hole Punch, Adhesive

Here is the inside of the card:

The Old Olive card stock was scored at 4 1/4". You then turn the paper to the other side and perforate it at the 2" mark. 

The Whisper White card stock is for the front and the inside of the card. The smaller piece is obviously for the bookmark. I first sponged the entire Whisper White card stock with my Summer Sun ink. (Any bright yellow will do.) I then stamped my images.

The bookmark folds inside the card. Do not open and close it too many times, or it may tear off. I liked the summer peaceful scene of the tree and swing. I used to climb the tree in our backyard and read for hours when I was a child. So, this brings back a few memories.
