It's playtime again at Seize The Birthday. For this challenge, we want you to use the negative.
I've used the rose die from Penny Black. I cut the image on watercolour paper and left the image in place while I painted the rose, leaves and stem with Distress Inks. Once dry, I removed the diecut image and was left with this lovely negative. I mounted it on to burgundy (honestly!) card and added a sentiment.
And the bonus is, I've got a beautifully painted diecut rose to use on another project!
Just between us, I think I like negatives better than the die cuts themselves. Wonder what that says about me?!?! This is gorgeous. PB has the best flower products.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful - love your way of using the negative dies, Shirley!
ReplyDeleteLove the result! Thing is....I see a whole lot of positive and not one bit of negative in your BEAUTIFUL card :) Definitely a neat-o result with the bonus of having another image for a different project.
ReplyDeleteBTW - I see a nice deep, rich burgundy color on my monitor :)
This is so pure and clean, Shirley-Bee!! I'm agog with how you did this and in love!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE!!
ReplyDeleteThe idea for the card is amazing. The use of die and watercolors at the same time is so revealing. Thank you for the inspiration, once for sure I will use this wonderful idea.

Love, love love it!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love that you get a bonus image when doing negative die cuts, Shirley ... this is a real stunner ... look forward to seeing the positive one! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteStunning! Black is so elegant and the watercolor adds to the beauty.
ReplyDeleteBrillant to leave it in place while you watercolored the rose! SUPER card!! Have a wonderful Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO cool Shirley! Love how you have water coloured around the cut out - such a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteYour negative is a gorgeous positive in every way! The rose...oh my...
