Hullo there everyone, Shaz here! Time to share with you another DT post. Trying the use of positive and negative of a word die again. I have two
of these beautiful dies by Quietfire design for Elizabeth Crafts - one
is a Happy birthday and the other is Thinking of you! I love these dies, because they are calligraphic and they cut so beautifully!
 |
| First card is using the negative space 1. Adhered the black background onto a sheet of double sided tape, added the floating black pieces in middle of letters I had saved when I cut the die. 2. Added the Cosmic Shimmer gilding flakes, Egyptian gold, pressing it well into sticky backed paper. 3. Then die cut a gold Spellbinder Gold Labels Four die (not on site but available from Bec, her Spellbinders are amazing prices!). 4. Embossed the black label with the same die to get the outline to hand cut around the inside shape of the die and popped it up on the gold. Matted it on handmade black and gold Chinese paper. |

| Added the black die cut to the sheet, then die cut the coloured gloss card with Spellbinder Pierced rectangles. By adding it it before die cutting it became embedded in the gloss card and really looked great! Also meant it wasn't easily going to come unstuck on glossy card, double bonus! Mounted it on black, then added ribbon and hessian or burlap strip underneath. |
That's it for today... I really appreciate all of you who call by to say hi!
