F4A138
Negative Die Cut

Being negative is never really nice. But lately, you probably have seen it in design and home decor and...yeppers...even paper crafting. (Thank you to Mybearybest for suggesting this challenge.)

How to: Using your dies or electronic cutters, create a negative shape. Then fill that shape in with a patterned paper or other contrasting paper. Make it the focal point of your card...

And presto...your negativity is really great! And...if you want to go the extra mile today, figure out how to make it count for one of this year's HYCCT challenges! Be sure to send it in to the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center as well.

Does it count if I put a stamped and colored panel in the negative cutout? I made this for my HYCCT challenge, inspired by the Lonely Goatherd from the Sound of Music. ;)

I found a negative die cut scrap in my scrap box this morning and decided to do this challenge even though I'm kind of late. Here's what I came up with:

Negative Snowflake

I can't stop using negative shapes now. It's all this challenge's fault. But I LOVE the look.
