Creating Kindness April Blog Hop – Negative Space
Tropical Chic and Negative Space for Creating Kindness Design Team April Blog Hop.
Welcome to the Creating Kindness Design Team Blog Hop for April. The theme of the hop this month is “negative space”. Such fun! Our guest designer this month is Linda van Welly-Zwolle … visit her blog here. Liz is
Tropical Thinlits Dies
The Tropical Thinlits that co-ordinate with the Tropical Chic stamp set include one die that is custom made to create a negative space. I have used it here to cut the panel of tropical leaves and placed a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock behind to show through the cut out areas.
Tropical Chic Stamp Set
I have stamped the Hibiscus flowers using the direct to stamp sponging technique and the Stampartus. The strip of Silver Glimmer paper adds a touch of bling to the card.
And here is the same card with a slight change. I have left the negative space white behind the leafy reverse die cut.

Beautiful cards, Cheryll! Changing the color behind the reverse die cut makes such an impact — two different cards.
