This is for the Flourishes Challenge, #245, Negative Energy, to use a negative die cut shape. FUN!!! It adds such a different look to your card. LOVE it!

I used 2 sets of stamps from Flourishes, the sentiment is from, Star Of Bethlehem, and the beautiful Holly is from It's A Wrap. I created my 'frame' by cutting out 2 tags with my Cameo, 2 different sizes layering quite close together. Covered in glue and sprinkled with a ton of Martha Stewart glitter. It is so shiny and sparkly in real life. Love it!!! I also sprayed it with Krylon Workable Fixatif, so the glitter stays on the card and not in the envelope, works like a charm! The designer papers are by Echo Park, Season's Greetings. I found this wonderful glitter ribbon in my stash and one of my home made poinsettias. The other day I made a bazillion of white ones and one red one, just perfect for this card. A glorious red ribbon from Gina K Designs and Ta Da. It is complete.
So remember, creating with negativity doesn't have to be a bad thing! :)
Thanks for stopping by, hope your day is anything but negative!

ReplyDeleteWell I get what you are saying here, but I prefer to be positive! Love this card and I love that darling little Holly you've colored so beautifully. I think Holly and Poinsettias are my favorite holiday foliage and flower. Well I for one am loving what you did with that negative space, very pretty Donna.
