Split Negative Stamping

I was going through the spring issue if “Take 10″ and saw an article by Lori Craig on Split negative stamping. The result is very cool! Basically you stamp the same image on different papers in different colors (embossing if desired) then cut them in half and match them up to the opposite color. Here’s how to do it :

Step 1. Cut 2 panels of paper the same size (I use 3 1/2” squares). Step 2. Chose an unmounted stamp and pace it in the center of the paper. Place a stamp positioner in the upper the right hand corner. Place the mounting block on top of the stamp lining it up with the positioner.

Step 3. Stamp both panels with contrasting colors, emboss if desired. Step 4. Mat the panel and attach it to the card.
