I am so excited about these cards! - Today's Try a new technique challenge was to make a split negative card with a twist - use color instead of black and white.
I used this beautiful poinsettia stamp - and used a different embossing powder on each card.
On the purple card I used a two toned Moon glow EP called Angel Wings/Sapphire.
On the cameo/ruby red card I used an EP called Violet twinkle by Judi Kins.
I didn't know what either of them would come out like - having bought them some time ago but never using them (until today!)
The one on the red/cameo card is sparkly and the other looks dark on the dark paper and light on the light paper!
Then I painted bleach on some of the petals on both sides to make them stand out. The bleach lightened each color differently - but I love how it came out. I used a heat gun to speed up the reaction.
I just got the cute flower brads from Target - $1 for a pad of 4 each of 4 different colors.
The 2nd layer under the purple flower was made by spritzing Moon Glow Glitzy spray Desert Moon Purple on Eggplant CS - I made it over a year ago and didn't like it so never used it on anything - but it fit perfectly here!
Both CS are Bazzill textured cards.
They look nicer IRL - the dark sides aren't so dark.
Thank you Karen for this wonderful challenge that I never would have done on my own!
TFL!!

Holy Cow Julia, these are both GORGEOUS!!! It is amazing the different results you can achieve by using different colours! The bleaching adds so much more too! I love the way it looks, but always forget to use it! You have done an amazing job with your wonderful creations using this technique today, thanks so much for sharing all your wonderful details Happy New Year to you and your family
