Stamp Simply is Getting Negative!

Now that I have your attention! Stamp Simply is all about the negative -- with negative images that is! You can do this challenge by using negative images of punches or die cuts OR by using a negative image, or reversed out stamp.

I was in luck because I just got a reverse image from the new release from Impression Obsession. It's a darling little bird and I thought about doing it up with a Fifth Avenue feel - mod, trendy, and charming (pun intended).

The stamp is actually in a circle and the center is open to create a solid white bird. After looking at it, I thought it needed a little something extra so I stamped a flourishy image over top to give the bird a little pizazz. Of course, I also needed to add some bling!

Punch out the circle with a 1-1/4" circle punch, mat it on a decorative pink mat punched from a 1-1/2" circle punch and then mat this onto a black piece punched with an SU scalloped circle punch. Use a ticket corner punch on the four corners of your decorative pink paper mat, add some bling, a satin ribbon and a fun little Thank You charm, and you are done!

Here's a close up of my birdie reverse silhouette....
