Split Negative and Shiny Butterfly

Our June meeting was held a week early on Saturday, June 13, 2009. We had eight of us all together. Diane demonstrated how to make the shiny butterfly that we had to leave to dry and will assemble next time (July 18).



Between the step of letting the Mod Podge dry and applying the Crystal Effects, Reyne demonstrated the Split Negative technique.
- Stamp image in VersaMark™ onto the black cardstock.
- Add white embossing powder, tap off excess, and heat image.
- Stamp image in VersaMark™ onto the white cardstock.
- Add black embossing powder, tap off excess, and heat image.
- Determine the exact midpoint of the piece of cardstock and cut both images in half.




The card swap this time was a patriotic / July 4th theme. We each made two cards . . . one to swap and one for the military box that Beverly is mailing for July 4th. The Scrapshack ladies even included personal notes for our brave men and women.



I was asked for the instructions for this tri-fold shutter card.
Notice the star is using the split negative technique but using red and blue cardstock with clear embossing powder.
