Let's Be Negative

But only for a card!  :)  My card for you today is not CAS and is not really negative, in accent only! After yesterday's post I welcome all of these layers with open arms!  Ahhhhhh!

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!

  11. Well 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.
