Feel Better Soon

Hi crafters!  Today's card uses a split negative technique.  There are a couple of way that you can achieve this look, but I find it is a bit easier to do it the way that I have when using detailed dies.  First,  select the colours you want to work with (in this case, milk, ginger and black.)  I cut the Family Tree out of the ginger card first.  Next I used a slightly larger piece of milk card and cut the Family Tree again, trying to keep it in relatively the same place.  Next I lined up the two cut images exactly and the larger piece on the second one allowed me a bit of room to move the card around until they were lined up.   Next I trimmed the edges of both cards so they were exactly the same.  I find this a bit easier than trying to cut through two pieces of card at the same time with a detailed die which is the other way it can be done.   Next I seated the die cuts back into the card on each of them and cut directly down the centre of the two pieces of card.   I used the left half of the ginger card and the right half of the milk card and taped the back of them and seated the opposite colour of the tree back into the die cut.  I backed it with a larger piece of black card. I used the sentiment from the Feel Better Soon die set and cut it out of the bottom of the black card.  I cut it again in Ginger card and seated it back into the aperture. The card was completed with milk, ginger and black mats.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
