I saw this idea on Pinterest and had to try it with the beautiful large Sunflower image from Celebrate Sunflowers. I call it the Split Negative with a spotlight look.
Card 1:
Card 2:
- It is quick and easy to create two cards.
- Cut a piece of Smoky Slate 9.5cm x 13.8cm and then cut it diagonally from top right to bottom left.
- Repeat with a piece of Shimmery White.
- Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to join a piece of the white to a piece of the Smoky Slate on the back across the diagonal.
- Stamp image across the joined piece using the Stamparatus.
- Colour the part of the image on the white using Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.
- Stamp a sentiment along the base of the white part.
- Attach to card base and add some embellishments (Bumblebee Trinkets and Lady Bug Trinkets used here).
- Add some Wink of Stella to the coloured part of the image.
- Supplies:
- Stamp Set: Celebrate Sunflowers
- Cardstock: Just Jade, Balmy Blue, Smoky Slate, Shimmery White, Basic White
- Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin’ Blends: Just Jade, Bronze, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Mango Melody

Here is a video that I made a few years ago using the split negative technique with heat embossing – yet another way to showcase the technique..
