Wednesday Trends - Negatives

Hello Crafters - Theresa here!!

I am so excited to be the host this week. I am even more excited that I get to continue to be a Trendsetter. I love this company, the stamps, and Jessica. I can't say enough about TSG.

As I thought about the trend I wanted to highlight this week I thought about a challenge that Torico gave a few weeks back on using negatives. Well it got me to thinking about how crafters add shading to their cards, add backgrounds, or clouds. I was working with my Cricut machine and saw some of the negatives that were left and thought what a great mask or stencil to create a background.

Well here is what I came up with...

Supplies that could be used: Cricut, Spellbinders, Dies, ink, sponge, dauber, cardstock, and TSG stamps.

I used my Cricut and the cartridge Art Philosophy. I cut out the image I wanted to use (actually I think this is the positive, but the negative is so much more prettier).

Next lay the cardstock down and your mask over the cardstock and daub with color. I went daubed lightly because I didn't want the design to over power my image. 

Then use the gorgeous design to decorate your card. 

I hope that you'll give this a try. It's very easy and delivers a beautiful impact on your cards. I can't wait to hear what you think. 

Come back tomorrow and see if you're in the "Spotlight."
