Today's cards show the difference between positive and negative.
 |
| Positive |

| Negative |
The positive card was made by stamping the background stamp twice on scrap paper, once in Soft Lilac Hero Arts ink and once in Grape Jelly Memento ink. I cut the cross out of the Grape Jelly scrap and layered it on top of the Soft Lilac scrap. That way, all the words are there, if dimensionally offset.
I actually prefer the negative version, however, which was entirely an accident. I envisioned the first card quite clearly in my head, and then made it. Then, I saw the scraps of the Grape Jelly layer lying on my desk and thought, "Why not?"
And so it happened.
I love how you can still read the words and know what they are, even with the missing cross. His body isn't with us, but He sure is.
Can I get an Amen?!?

ReplyDeleteAmen Susan. I love that so many of us crafting buddies and bloggy pals have an active faith too. Fabulous cards by the way, even without the wonderful words, I like the idea of making a large background stamp the focus of the card.
