Sparkling Season Crafty Chicks Blog Hop

Welcome to the Crafty Chicks Blog Hop!  We're so glad you could join us.  We 're a group of creative gals who met on the WWW (gotta love the internet) and decided to come together and share our passion for paper crafting with you.  Each month we have a different theme. This month our theme is "Sparkling Season".  It's December so of course it's all about the sparkle!
If you're coming from Nicole's blog HERE you're in the right place.  This is a full circle hop but just in case you get lost or want to see the full line up you'll find it here on Elizabeth's blog HERE 

When I found out the theme was 'Sparkly Seasons' I knew what I wanted to showcase. This is a card I made a while ago and I love it.  It's using a technique called 'Split Negative' stamping.  It works best with a stamp that looks good split down the middle.  You stamp and emboss the image twice using two different colors (I used silver paper/black embossing and black paper/silver embossing).  Once done, split both images down the middle and then place one half of each together to form a new image.  So you'll get two focal images.   The wooden stamp is from Stampendous called 'Tinsel Tree'.
